ATM Line Card Installation and Configuration

Line Card Cable-Management Bracket

Note When shipped with spare line card orders, the cable-management bracket is not attached to the line card.

You must attach the cable-management bracket to the line card before you insert the line card into the

router.

Caution Do not use the cable-management bracket as a handle to pull out or push in the line card. The

cable-management bracket is designed to hold the interface cables and may break if you use the bracket

to push, pull, or carry the line card after it is removed from the router.

Removing and installing the line card cable-management bracket is described in the following

procedures:

• Removing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket, page 19

• Installing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket, page 21

Removing a Line Card Cable-Management Bracket

To remove a line card cable-management bracket, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2 Note the current interface cable connections to the ports on each line card.

Step 3 Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card, disconnect the cable from the line

card interface.

Note It is not necessary to remove the interface cables from the line card cable-management bracket. The

bracket (with attached cables) can be hooked to the cable-management tray or a bracket on the chassis

until a new line card is installed.

Step 4 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, proceed upward and remove the interface from the

Velcro strap on the end of the cable standoff. (See Figure 13.)

For single-port line card cable-management brackets, carefully remove the interface cable from the cable

clip. (See Figure 14.) Avoid any kinks or sharp bends in the cable.

Step 5 Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for all remaining interface cables, then proceed to Step 6.

Step 6 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, loosen the captive installation screw at each end of

the cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.

For single-port line card cable-management brackets, loosen the captive installation screw on the

cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.
