Chapter 3 Installing the Switch
Installing a Catalyst 6509-V-E Switch Chassis
Installing the Cable Management System (Optional)
The accessory kit for the Catalyst 6509-V-E switch chassis includes an optional cable management
system that is installed on the front of the switch chassis. This cable management system is only
available for the Catalyst 6509-V-E switch chassis.
Note
The cable management system adds an additional 6.8 inches (17.3 cm) (measured to the outside of the
thumbscrews) to the overall depth of the chassis.
To install the cable management system on the chassis, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Remove the cable management assembly from the packing material.
Step 2
Locate the bag containing the four 6-32 screws that accompanied the cable management assembly.
Step 3
Loosen the two captive screws on the inside of the cable management assembly and pivot the cable guide
assembly away from the attachment bracket. (See
Figure 3-21
.)
Step 4
Position the cable management assembly in front of the chassis, align the four screw holes in the
attachment bracket with the corresponding screw holes in the chassis, and secure the cable management
assembly in place with the four 6-32 screws. (See
Figure 3-21
.)
