Installing the L Brackets and Cable Guides on the Catalyst 6509 and
Catalyst 6509-E Switches
Note The Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis are normally shipped with the L brackets
installed. If a chassis does not have the L brackets installed, follow the steps in this section to install the
L brackets on your Catalyst 6509 or Catalyst 6509-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 6509 or the Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis with ten M3 Phillips
countersunk-head screws (five screws on each side). Attach the optional cable guides by sandwiching
them between the L brackets and switch chassis.
Note The L brackets for the Catalyst 6509 and the Catalyst 6509-E switches are stamped with an L and an R
to identify them as left and right.
To install the L brackets and optional cable guides, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position the left (L) L bracket and the optional cable guide (if desired) against the switch chassis side,
and align the screw holes. (See Figure 3-6.)
Step 2 Secure the L bracket (and optional cable guide) to the switch chassis with five M3 screws.
Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the right (R) L bracket (and, if necessary, the optional cable guide).
