To organize network cables and minimize the obstruction from cables when you insert, remove, and view chassis components, you can install a cable management system on the front of the chassis. Using the cable management system, you can attach the maximum number of cables in C9010 line card ports.
The cable management system consists of two brackets (items 1 and 2 in Figure 25) and is shipped as part of the C9010 base configuration.
1. To install the cable management system, mount both brackets on the right and left sides of the chassis:
Align the openings on the inside of a bracket with the pins (item 1 in Figure 26) and thumb screws on each chassis flange.
2. Press the bracket forward so that the bracket holes cover the pins and thumb screws on the flanges (item 1 in Figure 27). The bracket locks in place as you press it forward.
3. To open part of a cable bracket, pull one of the latches forward so that it swings down.
4. To remove a cable bracket, push up the blue button located in the center of a bracket to release it.
When you cable C9010 ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the ventilation holes on the right and left sides of the chassis.
Do not remove the cable management brackets with installed cables. First unplug and remove all cables, then remove the brackets.
