Caution Handle line cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board
itself or any connector pins.
Step 5 Go to Step 3 of the procedure “Installing an RP or Line Card” on page 6-50 to
continue the installation of an RP or line card.
Step 6 Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 for any additional card installations.
Note If a line card slot in the card cage is not populated with a line card, a blank line
card must be installed to avoid overheating and to ensure electromagnetic
compliance (EMC).
Installing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket
When you install a new line card, you must install the line card cable-management
bracket on the faceplate of the line card before connecting cables to the ports.
Figure 6-29 shows a typical line card cable-management bracket oriented and
aligned for installation on a line card in a Cisco 12006 or Cisco 12406 Router.
