Installing a Cable-Management Bracket

For the procedure in this section, it is assumed that you have installed a new line card in the

hook on the top of the cable-management bracket allows you to hook the bracket onto small
cutouts on the cable-management tray during a line card replacement procedure.

Attach the cable-management bracket to the line card by means of the two
captive installation screws at the top and bottom of the cable-management
bracket (see Figure 7-28).
Carefully arrange the interface cables in the cable-management tray (for line
cards with multiple ports); determine the appropriate length of each cable for the
intended port and route the cables down to the line card ports.
Starting with the bottom port on the line card, connect the interface cables to the
intended port (see Figure 7-29, part 1).
Carefully press the interface cable into the associated cable keeper clip on the
cable-management bracket clip (see Figure 7-29, part 2). Avoid any kinks or
sharp bends in the cable.
Proceeding upward, carefully press the interface cable between the metal fingers
that support the cable keeper clips (see Figure 7-29, part 3).
Go back to Step 3 and proceed through the cable attachment procedure in a
bottom-to-top direction until you have attached all the interface cables to the line
card ports.
