Removing and Installing a Filler Plate
A filler plate is required to cover every empty tape drive and power
supply slot on the rear of the library, in order to maintain proper library
cooling. If you remove a tape drive or power supply from the library, you
must cover the opening with a filler plate.
There are two types of filler plates:
• Tape drive
• Power supply

The filler plate is half-height in size. If you remove a full-height tape
drive, you must install two filler plates to cover the opening.
