Connect an Interface Module
To install a cable in an interface module (see Figure 7 on page 15 for an example of the
100-pin connectors on the front of the serial interface module):
1. Ground yourself by using an antistatic wrist strap or other device, and connect it to
an ESD grounding jack.
2. Remove the dust cover that protects the cable connectors.
3. Slide the cable as far as you can into the module until it clicks into place.
4. Gently pull the cable to confirm that it is inserted correctly.

Cable the Platform for Power
After you have correctly cabled the RTM, you must attach grounding and electrical wires
before you turn the device on.
Three main tasks are involved:
1. Switch all device power switches to OFF.
CAUTION: Switches may have inadvertently flipped to ON during shipping
and installation.
2. Connect the grounding wires to the chassis.
WARNING: Always connect the grounding wires first (before connecting
the power cables) and disconnect them last when installing or servicing
the device.
3. Connect the power cables to the power supplies.
Table 1 on page 16 identifies the cabling requirements.
