IRM-P-Blank Overview
The IRM-P-Blank is a blanking cover designed for empty Pluggable Interface Module (PIM) slots on the Cisco Catalyst IR8300 Rugged Series Router. The IR8300 router supports up to 2 PIM slots for modular connectivity options. If a PIM slot is not populated, the IRM-P-Blank can be installed to protect the empty slot from dust and debris while maintaining proper thermal performance and airflow through the chassis.
The sturdy metal construction of the IRM-P-Blank securely covers unused slots to protect internal components from electrostatic discharge or accidental contact. The blanking cover provides an aesthetic facade to give the router a finished look with all slots occupied. The IRM-P-Blank features an easy installation process using captive thumbscrews to fasten the cover to the PIM slot opening.
With its rugged design, the IRM-P-Blank blanking cover allows the Cisco IR8300 router to maintain its environmental protection and resilience characteristics even when PIM slots are unpopulated. This enables scalability and future expansion potential, as covers can be removed and interface modules added as needed.
