12. For the Port 2, 3, and 4 Check, connect the cable (with the load attached) to the

respective port and repeat steps 2 through 11.

Figure 3-7

Typical Cable Connector Repeatability Response

If the Cable Connector Repeatability Check Fails

1. Clean the cable and devices, and torque to specification. Repeat the check.

2. If the check still fails, the cable should be repaired or replaced.
