Note:

On either type of system it is important to note how the cable is folded. You might want to

keep the cable nearby when completing the replacement so that you can compare this pattern to
the replacement cable.

Install the replacement control-panel signal cable into the system by doing one of the following
methods:

Rack-mounted signal cable installation

Carefully fold the signal cable

(B)

to match the folds on the signal cable that was removed.

Attach the signal cable to port

(A)

on the back of the backplane.
