Cisco Systems Cisco 12406, Cisco 12006 manual Installing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket

Chapter 6 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Installing an RP or a Line Card

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.
