Reconnecting Cables to a Line Card

When you replace an existing line card in the line card and RP card cage, you must reattach the line card cable-management bracket to the line card faceplate and reconnect the network interface cables to the replacement line card as described below.

If you have added a new line card, you must connect the additional network interface cables to the line card and route the cables across the front of the chassis to the vertical chassis cable-management bracket using the line card cable-management bracket as described below and shown in Figure 6-30, which shows a generic cable management bracket and velcro strap assembly.
