Installing the Switch
Installing the Cable Management System (Catalyst 6509-NEB-A Only)
This section describes the installation procedures for the cable management system (CABLETRAY-09)
on the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch.
Note
The cable management system is shipped with the extended cable guide installed but can be used with
the supplied standard cable guide. Use the extended cable guide with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet modules
(24 to 48 ports) using 10/100 cable. Use the standard cable guide with low port-density modules (up to
16 ports) using fiber and coax cable. We recommend that you install the cable management system
before replacing the cable guide. See the
replacement procedures.
To install the cable management system, perform these steps:
Place the cable management system against the chassis, as shown in
Step 1
installation screws.
Assure that the hinge is flat against the chassis, and install four 6-32 screws to secure the back plate to
Step 2
the chassis.
