Removing a Cable-Management Bracket

To remove a cable-management bracket, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Note the current interface cable connections to the ports on the RP.
Step 3
Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the RP, disconnect the cable from the RP interface.
Step 4 Repeat Step 3 for all remaining interface cables, proceeding from the bottom ports upward, then proceed to
Step 5.
Make sure the interface cables do not have any kinks or sharp bends, which can destroy or degrade
the ability of the optical fiber to propagate the signal-encoded beam of light accurately from one
end of the cable to the other. Always allow adequate strain relief in the interface cable.
