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
Figure 1 Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576, Rear-Panel View
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.

Tools and Equipment Required
You need the following tools and parts to install the cable-management brackets; the brackets and
panhead screws are included with the chassis:
• Large flat-blade screwdriver
• One cable-management bracket and two slotted panhead screws (already attached to the chassis)
Installation Procedure
To install the cable-management bracket, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the interface processor end of the chassis, locate the two slotted screws positioned
below the blower module and above the card cage. (See Figure 2.)

Installing the Cable-Management Bracket
Step 2 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the two slotted screws approximately 1/8-inch.
Step 3 Place the bracket over the screws (see Figure 2), and slide the bracket to the right.
Step 4 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Step 5 When installing the network interface cables, route the cables up to and through the
cable-management bracket. If you are using very thin cables that slip through the bracket
openings, insert nylon cable ties through the holes in the bracket and wrap them around
the cables to secure them.
Route the excess cable out through either end of the bracket, coil it, and secure it to the
rack using nylon cable ties or some other mode of attachment.
It might be necessary to bundle longer cables to avoid tangling them. Do this at the
cable-management bracket or at the rack, but leave enough slack in the cables to remove
processor modules and change cables as required. Also, do not block the power supply
air vents with cables.
This completes the procedure for installing the cable-management bracket.
