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.
