c. Continue sliding the card into the slot until the ejector levers make contact
with the front of the card cage, then stop.
d. Seat the card by grasping each ejector levers and simultaneously pivot them
toward the card faceplate.
Note The line card does not boot properly if not fully seated.
Step 9 Tighten the captive screws on the card.
Note The card captive screws must be tightened to meet EMI specification
standards.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 for any additional replacement RPs or line cards,
and then proceed to the next section.
Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket and Connecting
Cables
The Cisco XR 12404 Router line cards use cable-management brackets to:
• Organizing the network interface cables
• Keeping the network interface cables out of the way
• Positioning connectors at their respective ports on the line card faceplate
• Keeping the cables free of sharp bends (excessive bending in a network
interface cable can cause performance degradation)
When you install a new RP or line card, you need to attach the line card
cable-management bracket to the faceplate of the card before connecting the
cables. The type of cable-management bracket used by a line card is determined
by the card type and the number of network interface ports it has.
Use the following procedure to attach the cable-management bracket and cables
to a line card.
