Using a flat-head screwdriver, loosen the captive screws on the three DC
connectors (labeled from left to right, +, –, and
, respectively).
Warning
Before installing a wire, ensure that the polarity of the DC connections is
correct. Reversed polarity can cause damage to the DC power supply and can
create a dangerous shock hazard.

Install the wires into the appropriate connector. Make sure that the
uninsulated part of each wire is 9mm (0.35 in.) in length.
When installing the wires, always connect the ground wire first. When
disconnecting the wires, always disconnect the ground wire last.
The proper power cable wiring between the CSS 11800 and DC power source
is illustrated in
Table 2-11
.

Tighten the captive screws to 5 to 7 inch-pounds (.6 to .8 Nm) of torque to
secure the wires in the connectors. Ensure the wires are held firmly in place.
