Cisco CATALYST 6509E 9 SLOT 15U CHASSIS NO POWER SUPPLY NO FAN TRAY Specification Guide

The Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis are normally shipped with the L brackets 
installed. If a chassis does not have the L brackets installed, follow the steps in this section to install the 
L brackets on your Catalyst 6509 or Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis. You can also remove the L brackets 
from the front of the chassis and reattach them to the rear of the chassis.

The L brackets attach to the Catalyst 6509 or the Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis with ten M3 Phillips 
countersunk-head screws (five screws on each side). Attach the optional cable guides by sandwiching 
them between the L brackets and switch chassis.

The L brackets for the Catalyst 6509 and the Catalyst 6509-E switches are stamped with an L and an R 
to identify them as left and right.

To install the L brackets and optional cable guides, follow these steps:

Position the left (L) L bracket and the optional cable guide (if desired) against the switch chassis side, 
and align the screw holes. (See 

.)

Secure the L bracket (and optional cable guide) to the switch chassis with five M3 screws.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the right (R) L bracket (and, if necessary, the optional cable guide).
