5.2 Connect the Terminal to the System
You will attach one end of a cable to the CPU cover panel and the other
end of the cable to a communication port on the back of the terminal.
• The CPU cover panel is on the front of the system and covers backplane
slots 1 and 2.
• The port on the back of the terminal varies with the type of terminal.
Refer to the instructions that follow to connect a VT300-series or VT400-
series terminal.
1. Turn off the terminal.
2. Find the DECconnect Office Cable. It is labeled 17–01364–02 and has
a DEC–423 modular plug on each end.
3. Connect the terminal cable to the DEC–423 modular jack labeled 1 on
the rear of the terminal, according to the instructions in your terminal
installation guide.
4. Feed the other end of the cable under the system base, from behind or
from the side. Then draw up the cable and insert it into the DEC–423
modular jack shown in Figure 5.
5. Connect the ground lead as shown in Figure 5:
a. Loosen the ground screw, on the left of the modular jack.
