9-Pin DSUB Openings

If the 9-pin DSUB openings will be used on the upper back panel of the MA3a chassis, the
coverplates need to be removed. Use a screwdriver (or similar tool) to punch the metal insert out
from the inside. The 9-pin connector can then be bolted to the chassis. Figure 2-1 shows the 9-
pin openings on the back panel of the MA3a.
