Install the Cable Management Brackets
The SmartEdge 400 router is shipped with a pair of cable management brackets; the bracket for the front
of the chassis is approximately 1.0 in (2.54 cm) longer than the bracket for the rear of the chassis. When
installed at the front of the chassis, a single bracket accommodates both fiber-optic and nonfiber cables.
To install the bracket for the front of the chassis, align it with the three screw holes at the right side of the
chassis and secure it with three 10-32 x 0.25-inch screws provided with the bracket; tighten each screw
using 15.0 inch-lbs torque (1.7 Newton-meters) maximum; see Figure 4-4.
The cable management bracket for the rear of the chassis routes the DC power cables and the DS-3 and E3
cables attached to the BNC connectors; you can install the bracket on either side of the chassis.
To install the bracket, align it with the three screw holes at the right or left side of the rear of the chassis
and secure it with three 10-32 x 0.25-inch screws provided with the bracket; tighten each screw using
15.0 inch-lbs torque (1.7 Newton-meters) maximum; see Figure 4-4, which illustrates the installation on
the right side of the chassis.
