Product Overview

The Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 cable-management bracket is mounted above the card cage, on the
interface processor end of the chassis. (See Figure 1.) The bracket allows you to route cables away
from the interface processors, which keeps this area clear for any future maintenance requirements.

Note The Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 use the same chassis and cable-management bracket.

However, the backplane and the interface processor slot numbering scheme on the card cages are
different. The interface processor slot numbering scheme of the Cisco 7513 is shown in Figure 1.
The slot numbering scheme has no effect on the location or installation of the cable-management
bracket.

Installing the Cable-Management Bracket

The cable-management bracket attaches to the interface processor end of the chassis just above the
card cage and below the blower module. (See Figure 2.) Use the bracket to keep network interface
cables untangled and orderly, and to prevent cables from hindering access to interface processors in
the interface processor slots.

Install the bracket before connecting network interface cables to the interface processor ports;
otherwise, you will probably need to disconnect the cables to install the screws that secure the
brackets. Route interface cables through the bracket as you connect them to the interface processor
ports. If necessary, wrap cable ties through the holes provided to secure small-gauge cables.
