Routing cables through a 5-slot Passport switch
Route cables through the built-in cable management assembly to termination
panels installed on the back of the switch.
Procedure steps
1 Route the cables from the faceplate of the processor card through the
cable guides at the top of the switch. See the figure “Routing cables
through a 5-slot Passport switch” (page 404).
Route processor card cables through the larger channels in the cable
guide. Avoid overlapping the cables.
2 At the back of the switch, route the cables to the termination panels.
3 Label all processor card cables near the connector to indicate the node
name, slot number of the processor card, port number, and whether it is
a receive or transmit cable.
4 If desired, secure cables with cable ties. Always ensure you do not pinch
cables, especially fiber cables.
