Installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 32000 router

4

For additional security, use cable ties to secure cables to the cable management system
hardware on the sides of the unit (Refer to Figure 1.8).

The cable routing slots at the top and bottom of the unit are strong enough to hold many
cables, but the more cable cinches and cable ties you use, the more secure your cable
management system will be.

If you bundle the cables correctly, you will be able to move the bundles to the side to access
the modules for service, without disturbing the connections. Refer to

Figure 204

.

Always route the cables for the outer-most modules out the sides of the unit. Route the cables
for the innermost modules through the top or through the bottom cable management hardware
on the unit.

CAUTION

Be sure not to exceed the minimum recommended bend radius for the cables: 2 in. for MRJ-21
cables, and 1.5 in. for Category 5 (RJ45) and fiber-optic cables.
