standards.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 for any additional replacement RPs or line cards,

Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket and Connecting
Cables
The Cisco XR 12404 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.
Use the following procedure to attach the cable-management bracket and cables
to a line card.
