To secure port adapter interface cables to the cable-management brackets, complete the following steps:
Note The eight removable tie wraps installed on the cable-management brack ets secur e port adapter inter fa ce
cables to the brackets. We recommend that you use the tie wraps that shipped with the cable- management
brackets. You can use standard tie wraps; however, you will have to cut and replace them with new tie
wraps when you want to release or secure an interface cable to a bracket.
Step1 Select a tie wrap and release its locking mechanism.
Step2 Carefully lace the interface cables from a port adapter installed in the chassis between the two ends of
the unlocked tie wrap.
Note Be sure to leave a small service loop in the interface cable before securing it to the
cable-management bracket.
Step3 With the interface cables between the ends of the tie wrap an d the interf ace cab les’ service loop in place,
tighten the cable tie down around the interface cables until they are secured against the
cable-management bracket. (Refer to Figure 3-10.)

Step4 Repeat Step 1 through Step3 for any other port adapte r interface ca bles insta lled in the router.
This completes the procedure for securing port adapter interface cables to the cable-management
brackets. Proceed to the following section, “Providing a Chassis Ground Connection for the Router
Chassis,” to continue the installation.
Providing a Chassis Ground Connection for the Router Chassis
Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, we strongly recommend that you provide an
adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router ’s chassis. Chassis grounding receptacles are
provided on each Cisco7204 router chassis. (Refer to Figure1-3.)
