Line Card Cable-Management Bracket
Note When shipped with spare line card orders, the cable-management bracket is not attached to the line card. You must attach the cable-management bracket to the line card before you insert the line card into the router.
Caution Do not use the cable-management bracket as a handle to pull out or push in the line card. The cable-management bracket is designed to hold the interface cables and may break if you use the bracket to push, pull, or carry the line card after it is removed from the router.
Removing and installing the line card cable-management bracket is described in the following procedures:
•Removing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket, page 19

Removing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket
To remove a line card cable-management bracket, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Note the current interface cable connections to the ports on each line card.
Step 3 Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card, disconnect the cable from the line card interface.
Note It is not necessary to remove the interface cables from the line card cable-management bracket. The bracket (with attached cables) can be hooked to the cable-management tray or a bracket on the chassis until a new line card is installed.
Step 4 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, proceed upward and remove the interface from the Velcro strap on the end of the cable standoff. (See Figure 13.)
For single-port line card cable-management brackets, carefully remove the interface cable from the cable clip. (See Figure 14.) Avoid any kinks or sharp bends in the cable.
Step 5 Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for all remaining interface cables, then proceed to Step 6.
Step 6 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, loosen the captive installation screw at each end of the cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.
For single-port line card cable-management brackets, loosen the captive installation screw on the cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.
