Routing card cables on a Multiservice Switch 7420

Procedure steps
NN10600-175 6.1S2
Route processor card cables through the built-in cable management assembly
to termination panels installed on the back of the Multiservice Switch 7420.
1 Route the cables from the faceplate of each processor card through the
cable guides at the side of the device. See the figure "Multiservice
Switch 7420 cable routing" (page 511).
If you install termination panels at the back of the device, ensure that the
top panel lines up with the top processor card. This simplifies cabling and
avoids overlap.
2 At the back of the device, route the cables to the termination panels.
3 Label all processor card cables near the connector to indicate the node
name, slot number of the processor card, port number, and if it is a receive
or transmit cable.
4 If desired, secure cables with cable ties. Always ensure that you do not
pinch cables, especially fiber cables.
