Page 18: Installing The Power Cord Retainer (Optional)
The power cord retainer part number (PWR-CLP=) is optional. You can order it when you order your switch, or you can order it later from your Cisco representative. Choose the sleeve size of the power cord retainer based on the thickness of the cord. The smaller sleeve Step 1 can be snapped off and used for thin cords. - Page 19 (Optional) Use the small sleeve for thin power cords. Use the small sleeve to provide greater stability for Step 5 thin cords. Detach the sleeve, and slide it over the power cord. See Figure 1-21.
