Routing card cables on a Multiservice Switch 7440
Route processor card cables through the built-in cable management assembly
to termination panels installed on the back of a Nortel Networks Multiservice
Switch
7440.
Procedure steps
1 Route the cables from the faceplate of each processor card through the
cable guides at the top of the device. See the figure “Routing cables
through a Multiservice Switch 7440” (page 513).
Route processor card cables through the larger channels in the cable
guide. Avoid overlapping the cables.
2 At the back of the device, route the cables to the termination panels.
3 Label all processor card cables near the connector to indicate the node
name, slot number of the processor card, port number, and if it is a receive
or transmit cable.
4 If desired, secure cables with cable ties. Always ensure that you do not
pinch cables, especially fiber cables.
