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.
