2.2.4 Guidelines for populating pluggable in chassis

Follow the guidelines mentioned when populating pluggable in the chassis. Do the
following recommendations for an improved thermal performance:
• Always cover an empty slot with an appropriate filler panel to prevent overheating
and entry of dust into the chassis.
• Protect the pluggable modules or unused ports by inserting clean dust caps to
prevent the entry of dust and for optical safety.
• Follow the recommended order for populating pluggable in the chassis.
Recommended order of pluggable installation
The sequence for installing pluggable (Optical and electrical) depends on the
arrangement of ports in a card. The recommended sequence to install pluggable is
explained in the following with three examples.
Case 1: If a card consists of four ports, all in one row, then install the pluggable starting
from left to right, in an alternate port sequence: port P1 > P3 > P2 > P4.
