This topic describes the chassis filler panels and the types of ejector levers used on the PCI Express ExpressModule (EM; Sun Blade 8000 Chassis only), the Network Express Module (NEM), Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM), and Sun Blade Server Modules.
The Sun Blade 8000 Series chassis is shipped with factory-installed filler panels in unused module slots. A filler panel is an empty metal enclosure that does not contain any functioning system hardware or cable connectors. These filler panels must remain within the chassis until you are ready to install a module. The filler panels must remain in the unused chassis slots to comply with FCC limits for electromagnetic interference (EMI). For each module you plan to install, you must remove the associated filler panel.
The Sun Blade 8000 Series Chassis contains ejector levers for each installable module. These ejector levers release a module or secure the placement of a module in a chassis slot. For each module, there is a specific type of ejector levers and a specific way to operate the ejector levers. Typically, when the ejector lever is properly closed, the module is secured in the chassis.
