This publication contains instructions for installing a Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router line card cable-management bracket on a line card. This document is applicable to all line cards on all Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers.
This installation and configuration note includes the following sections:
Installation preparation is presented in the following sections:
Before you perform any procedure in this publication, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all hazards. Be alert.
 |
Note Review the safety warnings listed in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router publication (Document Number 78-4347-xx) that accompanied your router before installing, configuring, or maintaining a line card. |
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is an integral component of the line card. Cisco recommends using an ESD-preventive strap whenever you are handling network equipment or one of its components.
The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
You need the following tools and parts to remove and install a line card cable-management bracket:
Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers include a cable-management system that organizes the interface cables entering and exiting the router, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends.
 |
Caution Excessive bending of interface cables can cause damage to the cables. |
The cable-management system consists of two separate components:
1. A cable-management tray that is mounted on the chassis. Refer to the appropriate Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router installation and configuration guide for more information on the cable-management tray.
2. A cable-management bracket that attaches to a line card.
This section describes the line card cable-management bracket. Figure 1 shows the single-port line card cable-management bracket; Figure 2 shows the multiport line card cable-management bracket.
|
Note When shipped with spare line card orders, the cable-management bracket is not attached to the line card. You must attach the cable-management bracket to the line card before you insert the line card into the router. |
|
Caution Do not use the cable-management bracket as a handle to pull out or push in the line card. The cable-management bracket is designed to hold the interface cables and may break if you use the bracket to push, pull, or carry the line card after it is removed from the router. |
Removing and installing the line card cable-management bracket is described in the following procedures:
To remove a line card cable-management bracket, follow these steps:
Step 2 Note the current interface cable connections to the ports on each line card.
Step 3 Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card, disconnect the cable from the line card interface.
|
Note It is not necessary to remove the interface cables from the line card cable-management bracket. The bracket (with attached cables) can be hooked to the cable-management tray or a bracket on the chassis until a new line card is installed. |
Step 4 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, proceed upward and remove the interface from the Velcro strap on the end of the cable standoff. (See Figure 3.)
For single-port line card cable-management brackets, carefully remove the interface cable from the cable clip. (See Figure 4.) Avoid any kinks or sharp bends in the cable.
Step 5 Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for all remaining interface cables, then proceed to Step 6
Step 6 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, loosen the captive installation screw at each end of the cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.
For single-port line card cable-management brackets, loose the captive installation screw on the cable-management bracket and remove the bracket from the line card.
To install a line card cable-management bracket, follow these steps:
Step 2 Attach the line card cable-management bracket to the line card as follows:
a. Position the cable-management bracket over the front of the line card faceplate.
b. Insert and tighten the captive screw(s) to secure the bracket to the line card.
c. Starting with the bottom port on the line card, connect each interface cable to the intended port.
Step 3 For multiport line card cable-management brackets, carefully wrap the cables with the supplied Velcro strap. (See Figure 3.) For single-port line card cable-management brackets, carefully press the interface cable onto the cable clip. (See Figure 4.) Avoid any kinks or sharp bends in the cable.

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides 24-hour, award-winning technical support services, online and over the phone. Cisco.com features the Cisco TAC website as an online starting point for technical assistance.
The Cisco TAC website (http://www.cisco.com/tac ) provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The Cisco TAC website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Accessing all the tools on the Cisco TAC website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, register at this URL:

The online TAC Case Open Tool (http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen ) is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (Your network is minimally impaired or you require product information). After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using these recommendations, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer.
For P1 or P2 cases (your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
Information about Cisco products, technologies, and network solutions is available from various online and printed sources.
