Connecting Line Card Network Interface Cables

This section describes how to route the network interface cables through the chassis cable management tray
and how to attach the network interface cables to the line card ports.
This procedure uses an 20x10GE OTN line card as an example to describe how to attach a network interface
cable to a line card port and route the cable through the cable management tray. Depending on which line
cards are installed in your system, your cable connection procedure might differ slightly from this example.
Note For cable connection information for your specific line card, refer to the installation and configuration note
for that line card. You can access the most current Cisco line card documentation online at:
