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 12406 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.
