attach the 25-pin Dsub connector to the rear cover cutout after removing the blanking panel
from the cutout.
4.
Fold the 25-pin ribbon cable pigtail into a loop fold between the GIO board and the 25-pin Dsub
connector.
5.
Plug the RS485 10 conductor ribbon cable pigtail into the GIO board on the electronics plate.
