Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router
Installing the Cable-Management Brackets
Note If you have an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, see the “Installing the NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Cable-Management
Brackets on a Front-Mounted Router” section on page 3-9 or the “Installing the Brackets on the Rear of
the Chassis” section on page 3-11.
This completes the steps for installing the cable-management brackets on a Cisco 7200 VXR router.
Securing the Port Adapter Cables
To secure port adapter interface cables to the cable-management brackets, complete the following steps:
Note The eight removable tie wraps installed on the cable-management brackets secure port adapter interface
cables to the brackets. We recommend that you use the tie wraps that shipped with the cable-management
brackets. You can use standard tie wraps; however, you will have to cut and replace them with new tie
wraps when you want to release or secure an interface cable to a bracket.
Step 1 Select a tie wrap and release its locking mechanism.
Step 2 Carefully lace the interface cables from a port adapter installed in the chassis between the two ends of
the unlocked tie wrap.
Note Be sure to leave a small service loop in the interface cable before securing it to the
cable-management bracket.
Step 3 With the interface cables between the ends of the tie wrap and the interface cables service loop in place,
tighten the cable tie down around the interface cables until they are secured against the
cable-management bracket. (See
Figure 3-13.)
