You should plan your connecting sequence to work from one side of the box to the
other to avoid constricting your work space and crossing the cables unnecessarily.
Align the connector pins and D-shaped bevels before gently pushing the cable
connector onto the cluster box connector. Align the two captive connector screws as
shown in Figure 4–16, and then tighten them securely.

If you haven’t already connected the remote ends of the cables to your asynchronous
devices, do so now. Refer to the device-specific documentation for your option, if
necessary. If your cluster controller system includes any parallel printers, continue
with the next section, “Connecting a Parallel Printer to a Cluster Box.”
When you finish connecting all external devices to your VME option board(s), refer
to your starting manual for instructions on powering up your system. You should
then refer to your operating system documentation for instructions on what to do
after booting or rebooting your system hardware.
