Make sure the cable is safe the way it is routed from the SSD card to the circuit board
connections. The cable should be loose and not bound on a metal corner, cover or another
object. Reattach the cover and firm the bolts. They do not need to be very tight. Power up the
TMC and test the installation by inserting a removable USB drive into either USB port inside an
alcove along the right edge of the pendant. Copy from the removeable USB (Usually Drive E) to
the new SSD memory (Drive D) to make sure the new memory card is working by sliding the
Programming screen at the lower right corner to open the keyboard pop up. Press the Windows
key on the lower left-hand corner of the keyboard to bring up Windows Menu. Select Devices &
Printers and the Device Display lists the USB. Copy a test file from the USB to drive D the new
memory card.

Cable Routing on Machine
Whenever you replace a cable or reroute a cable it is very important to keep the power cables and logic
cables separated from each other. The power cables consist of the (3) 208-volt motor cables and (2)
208-volt power cables for the Computer Module and a coolant pump or lube pump cable. The logic cables
are used to carry encoder signals between the servos and computer module. Mixing of the power and
logic cables may cause noise from the power cables to interrupt the signals in the logic cables. This can
lead to intermittent axis faults or repeatability problems.
