Apply the Motor Cable Shield 
Clamp
This procedure assumes you have completed wiring your motor power (MP) 
connector and are ready to apply the cable shield clamp.
Follow these steps to apply the motor cable shield clamp.
1. Depress the spring loaded clamp.
2. Position the exposed portion of the cable braid directly in line with the 
clamp.
3. Release the spring, making sure the cable and cable braid are held secure 
by the clamp.
4. Attach tie wrap (slide-open clamp only) around cable and clamp for 
additional strain relief.
5. Repeat step 1
 through step 4 for each IAM, AM, or IPIM module.
TIP Your drive can be equipped with either the pivot-open or slide-open cable 
clamp.
