When you install a new RP or line card, you must attach the line card
cable-management bracket to the faceplate of the card before connecting cables.
The type of line card cable-management bracket used by a line card is determined
by the line card type and the number of network interface ports on the card
faceplate.
Cisco 12000 series router line cards use cable-management brackets for the
following.
Organize the network interface cables
•
Keep the network interface cables out of the way
•
• Position connectors at their respective ports on the faceplate of the line card
Keep the cables free of sharp bends (excessive bending in a network interface
•
cable can cause performance degradation)
Attaching the line card cable-management bracket to a line card is presented in
the following steps.
Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to
the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Take the RP and line card cable-management bracket from the shipping carton.
Orient the top of the line card cable-management bracket with the top of the RP
or line card faceplate. See
Align the two captive screws on the bracket with the threaded insert holes near the
ejector levers on each side of the RP or line card faceplate.
Finger tighten the two captive screws.
Do not overtighten the captive screws; you might strip the threads on the screw or
in the insert in the line card faceplate.
Use a 3/16-inch flatblade screwdriver to further tighten the two captive screws.
Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 for any remaining RPs or line cards.
