Installing a Cisco 12008 3-17
Connecting the Line Card Cables
This action engages the blind mating connector at the rear of the power supply
with its companion backplane connector.
Caution To prevent damage to the backplane, do not use excessive speed or force when
sliding the power supply into the bay.
Step6 Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the captive installation screw on the power
supply faceplate clockwise until it is tight, thus securing the power supply in the
bay.
Connecting the Line Card Cables
This section presents the procedures for installing the network interface cables in the cable-
management system and attaching the cables to the appropriate line card ports.
The cable-management system consists of two components:
•A horizontal cable-management tray that is mounted directly above the upper card cage
•A vertical cable-management bracket that is attached to each line card
Additional line card installation information is contained in the configuration note that
accompanies each line card that is shipped from the factory as an installed component or
that is ordered and shipped separately as an FRU.
For example, for additional line card information, you can consult the appropriate
configuration note(s) for the line card(s) installed in your router, as outlined below:
