This procedure explains how to install the filler cards in any unused traffic
or AIC-I card slots (Slots 1 through 6, 9, and 12 through 17). A filler card
consists of a card with a faceplate attached.
Note There are two types of filler cards. One is not detectable by CTC
and has no label on its faceplate. The other is detectable by CTC
and has the label FILLER on its faceplate.
Filler cards aid in maintaining proper air flow and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) requirements.
