NOTE:Make sure all cables latch securely into the corresponding port

connectors. If the IB cable connector is not properly oriented to fit onto the port

receptacle (i.e., while attempting to insert the cable in the port), do not twist the

connector to achieve the correct orientation. Instead, reach back a few feet on the

cable, and twist the bulk cable to allow the connector to rotate to the proper

orientation. Doing this prevents all of the rotational forces from acting right at the

connector terminations.

CAUTION!

It is important to provide strain relief for the IB cable connector.

NOTE:When handling IB connectors, make certain to remove the connectors by

pulling on the center of the lanyard only as shown in Figure 2-9. below. Pulling

abruptly on the lanyard, or pulling on only one side of the lanyard will prevent the

latch/unlatch operation from occurring, and could damage or break the lanyard.
