Secure Cables to the CMB

1. Identify the prerequisite and subsequent installation tasks that you must perform in conjunction with this task.

   See Installation Task Overview.

2. While connecting the RJ-45, SFP+, and PrizmMT cables to the switch, lay the cables into an available slot on the CMB.
   
3. After all cables have been laid, replace the cover for the CMB and tighten the thumbscrews.
   
4. Route the data cables so that they do not interfere with other cables, or with servicing the switch or other systems.

   Use hook and loop fastener straps to bundle and secure the cables.

   Note -  Do not use cable zip ties to bundle or secure the cables, because the ties damage the fibers inside the cables.

5. Retrieve the power cords and SER MGT cable (if previously routed) for connection to the switch.

   See Retrieve the Power Cords and SER MGT Cable.
