Jesse, No, we don't have to remove any cards. There is patch cable slack in the vertical cable manager and all we have to do is use the slack to get enough clearance to un-patch and pull out the card we need to replace. The optimum way would be to feed the cables from the top but we could not find a cable manager that could handle the density.

The way you have your slots 1-3 cabled, you will not be able to remove the cards in slot 1 and 2 without un-patching the higher number cards completely. Regards, Jesse W.

With a N7 orientation being vertical and a N3 orientation being horizontal we decided to use the side channels on the vertical cable manager to feed copper cables. Fiber is fed from the top. This setup allows access to fan trays and power supplies. Darrin Green Senior Technical Support Specialist >>> "Richard Hart" <[email protected]> 6/16/2009 9:52 AM >>> All, Does anyone have any pictures of the 72 port blade for the N-series chassis fully cabled? We are interested in the blade, but are having difficulty justifying the purchase of such a blade because it seems that cabling the blade could be a problem.
