Attaching the Rear Cable-Management Brackets and Cables (Optional)

You may choose to use one of two types of cable-management brackets. One type is the same as is used
on the front of the router for managing port adapter and I/O controller cables. The NPE-G1- or
NPE-G2-specific bracket is used only on the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, and provides more support for optical
