Chapter 5 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Replacing an RP or Line Card

Step 6 Proceeding from the left port on the line card to the right port (on line cards with multiple ports), identify the network interface cable for the line card port and insert the cable connector into the line card port (see Figure 5-19).

a.Align the interface cable with the cable-management bracket.

b.Repeat for the remainder of the interface cables for this line card.

Note Carefully adjust the interface cables in the cable-management bracket to prevent any kinks or sharp bends in the interface cables. Kinks and sharp bends can destroy or degrade the ability of the optical fiber to propagate the signal-encoded beam of light accurately from one end of the cable to the other. Also, allow adequate strain relief in the interface cables.

Step 7 Secure the interface cables to the cable-management bracket by wrapping the velcro straps around them (see Figure 5-19).

Note Do not wrap the velcro straps too tightly.
