Removing a Cable-Management Bracket

This section tells you how to remove a cable-management bracket from the Cisco 12008.

Note Before accessing any of the router’s internal components, put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes adequate contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD grounding socket on the lower left edge of the upper card cage (see Figure 7-24).

To remove a cable-management bracket from a line card, perform the following steps:

Step 1 On a piece of paper, list the current interface cable connections to the port(s) on each line card.

Note This step may be unnecessary. If the interface cables were originally installed properly, the length of each cable should leave little question regarding the port to which it should be connected.

Step 2 Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card (for cards with multiple ports), disconnect the cable from the bottom line card port (see Figure 7-26a).

Step 3 Proceeding upward, remove the interface cable from between all the metal fingers supporting the cable keeper clips (see Figure 7-26b).

Step 4 Remove the interface cable from the associated cable keeper clip, as shown in Figure 7-26c). Set the cable aside for later use.
