Chapter 3 Installing and Removing the Uplink Cards

Installing the Cable-Management System

Installing the Cable-Management System

The cable-management system, located on the front of the router, organizes the interface cables. To keep the cables free of sharp bends, extend the cables from the center out both sides of the cable-management system. Excessive bending of an interface cable can degrade performance and possibly harm the cable.

Perform the following steps to install the cable-management system:

Step 1 Power down your router. (See the “Powering Down the Router” section on page 3-2.)

Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist, and to the router or to a bare metal surface. (See the “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” section on page 2-4.)

Step 4 Separate cables and lead them out the sides of the cable-management tray. Use a cable tie to keep the cables together. (See Figure 3-20.)

Caution To avoid damage to the cables, avoid excessive bending.
