bottom of the terminal block.
3. After loosening the strain-relief screws screws with the Phillips-head number 2 screwdriver,
slide the signal wires one at a time through the front panel strain-relief opening. Add
insulation or padding if necessary.
4. Connect the wires to the screw terminals by inserting the wires into the terminals and
tightening the screw without letting the wires slip out of the strain-relief bar.
5. Tighten the larger strain-relief screws.
6. Snap the top cover back into place.
7. Reinsert the grounding screw to ensure proper shielding.
