Note: If you plan on using a cable-management bracket (ERX-7xx/14xx models only), install it before you begin cabling your E-series router. Cable-management brackets are helpful to keep network interface cables untangled and orderly and to prevent cables from hindering access to other slots. See Installing a Cable-Management Bracket on ERX-7xx Models in Chapter 9, Maintaining E-Series Routers.
