4.

Plug the socket connector of the SCXI-1355 adapter board into the
rear signal connector of an SCXI module.

5.

Secure the SCXI-1355 adapter board by screwing the two small
screws through the rear panel of the adapter board and into the
threaded strips in the back of the SCXI chassis.

6.

Connect one end of the SCXI-1355 cable to the 68-pin connector of
the SCXI-1355 adapter board.

7.

Connect the other end of the cable to the I/O connector of the
DAQDIO 6533 Series board.

8.

Secure the cable to a fixed object with the tie wraps to relieve the
strain on the cable.  Strain relief is necessary because the SCXI-1355
shielded cable has a long, stiff backshell that can exert leverage on
the DAQDIO 6533 Series board connector.
