Installing the L Brackets and Cable Guides on the Catalyst 6503 and the
Catalyst 6503-E Switches
Note The Catalyst 6503 and the Catalyst 6503-E switch chassis are normally shipped with the L brackets
installed. If the chassis does not have the L brackets installed, follow the steps in this section to install
the L brackets on your Catalyst 6503 or Catalyst 6503-E switch chassis. You can also remove the
L brackets from the front of the chassis and reattach them to the rear of the chassis.
The L brackets attach to the Catalyst 6503 and the Catalyst 6503-E switch chassis using eight M3
Phillips countersunk-head screws (four M3 screws on each side). You attach the optional cable guides
by sandwiching them between the L brackets and switch chassis.
To install the L brackets on the front of the Catalyst 6503 and the Catalyst 6503-E switch chassis,
perform these steps:
Step 1 Position one of the brackets against the chassis side, and align the screw holes. (See Figure 3-3.)
Step 2 Secure the bracket to the chassis with four M3 screws.
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other bracket.
