Board Installation - MC/16i
1.
Place the connector box assembly near the open slot at the rear of the
machine. Thread the two gray ribbon cables through the slot so that the two
plugs are pointing toward the bus connector into which you intend to plug
the board.
2.
Carefully thread both cables through the opening in the MC/16i board’s
endplate so that the shorter of the two cables (marked “P3”) is closest to the
board and the connectors are pointing toward the board.
3.
Plug the cable end marked “P3” (the shorter cable) into the board connector
“P6”. Plug the cable end marked “P2” (the longer cable) into the board
connector “P5” (see Figure 12, below, for the location of P5 and P6).
