Cisco Systems XR 12406 manual Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket and Connecting Cables

Chapter 5 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Replacing an RP or a Line Card

Step 9 Tighten the captive screws on the card.

Note The card captive screws must be tightened to meet EMI specification standards.

Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 for any additional replacement RPs or line cards, and then proceed to the next section.

Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket and Connecting Cables

The Cisco XR 12406 router line cards use cable-management brackets to:

•Organizing the network interface cables

•Keeping the network interface cables out of the way

•Positioning connectors at their respective ports on the line card faceplate

•Keeping the cables free of sharp bends (excessive bending in a network interface cable can cause performance degradation)

When you install a new RP or line card, you need to attach the line card cable-management bracket to the faceplate of the card before connecting the cables. The type of cable-management bracket used by a line card is determined by the card type and the number of network interface ports it has.
