Note When shipped, the cable-management bracket is not attached to the router chassis. You must attach the
cable-management bracket to the chassis before you insert the cables into the line card ports.
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.

Installing a Cable Management Bracket

To install a cable-management bracket, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2 Position the cable-management bracket over the front of the chassis front panel.
