Replacing the Cable-Management System

This section presents the procedures for removing and installing a cable-management tray or a cable-management bracket for the Cisco 12008.

Removing a Cable-Management Tray

The cable-management tray (ACS-GSR8-CCBLM) is actually three pieces: end cap, top trim, and tray (see Figure 1).


Figure 1: Cable--Management Tray on a Cisco 12008



To remove the cable-management tray while the system is operating, perform the following steps.


Note Before accessing any of the router's internal components, put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes adequate contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD grounding socket on the lower left edge of the upper card cage (see
Figure 3).

Step 1 Proceeding from left to right in the upper card cage, select the first line card. Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card (for cards with multiple ports), remove it from the associated finger on the cable-management tray (see Figure 2). Continue this for each interface cable.

Step 2 Once the interface cables are removed from the cable-management tray, position the interface cables out of the way in preparation for removal of the cable-management tray.

Step 3 Remove the four installation screws securing the cable-management tray to the recessed router enclosure (see Figure 3). Save the screws for possible future use.

Step 4 Remove the top trim piece from the chassis by pulling away it from the chassis fasteners (see Figure 3, part 1).

Step 5 Remove the end cap (left-most, large finger piece) from the chassis by pulling it away from the chassis fasteners (see Figure 3, part 2).

Step 6 Pivot the bottom of the cable-management tray away from the recessed router enclosure (see Figure 3, part 3).

Step 7 Remove the cable-management tray from the router and set it aside.

This completes the procedure for removing the cable-management tray from the Cisco 12008.

Installing a Cable-Management Tray

To install a cable-management tray while the system is operating, perform the following steps.


Note Before accessing any of the router's internal components, put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes adequate contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD grounding socket on the lower left edge of the upper card cage (see Figure 3).

Step 1 Remove the replacement cable-management tray from its shipping container.

Step 2 Position the cable-management tray at an angle so that its top is oriented toward the tray recess in the router enclosure (see Figure 4).

Step 3 Pivot the bottom of the cable-management tray inward toward the router until it is flush against the sheet metal in the tray recess (see Figure 4, part 1).

Step 4 Secure the cable-management tray in the recess with the two right-most installation screws that you set aside in the previous procedure entitled "Removing a Cable-Management Tray" on page 3 .


Figure 4: Installing a Cable Management Tray



Step 5 Install the end cap onto the chassis by pushing it onto the chassis fasteners (see Figure 4, part 2).

Step 6 Secure the cable-management tray in the recess with the remaining two installation screws that you set aside in the previous procedure entitled "Removing a Cable-Management Tray" on page 3 .

Step 7 Install the top trim piece onto the chassis by pushing it onto the chassis fasteners (see Figure 4, part 3).

Step 8 Carefully arrange the attached interface cables in the bottom of the cable-management tray so that they emerge from the tray directly over the intended line card (see Figure 8).

This completes the procedure for installing the cable-management tray in the Cisco 12008.

Removing a Cable-Management Bracket

To remove a cable-management bracket from a line card, perform the following steps.


Note Before accessing any of the router's internal components, put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes adequate contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD grounding socket on the lower left edge of the upper card cage (see Figure 3).

Step 1 On a piece of paper, list the current interface cable connections to the port(s) on each line card.

Step 2 Starting with the interface cable for the bottom port on the line card (for cards with multiple ports), disconnect the cable from the bottom line card port (see Figure 6, part 1).

Step 3 Proceeding upward, remove the interface cable from between all the metal fingers supporting the cable keeper clips (see Figure 6, part 2).

Step 4 Remove the interface cable from the associated cable keeper clip (see Figure 6, part 3). Set the cable aside for later use.

This completes the procedure for removing a cable-management bracket from the Cisco 12008.

Installing a Cable-Management Bracket

For the following procedure, it is assumed that you have installed a new line card in the router, in which case you must also install a cable-management bracket on the card. A small hook on the top of the cable-management bracket allows you to hook the bracket onto small cutouts on the cable-management tray during a line card replacement procedure.

To install a cable-management bracket on a line card, perform the following steps.


Note Before accessing any of the router's internal components, put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes adequate contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD grounding socket on the lower left edge of the upper card cage (see Figure 3).

Step 1 Attach the cable-management bracket to the line card by means of the two captive installation screws at the top and bottom of the cable-management bracket (see Figure 7).
