Strain Relief
CAUTION: For safety reasons, install the supplied cable cover for the external ports prior to using the VC8300.
After the VC8300 and bracket are fastened, prepare the strain relief as follows:
1. Install the cables loosely on the strain relief rail (see Figure 4 on page 20).
2. As far as possible, route cables leading to or away from the unit next to one another without crossing.
3. Fasten the cables into the strain relief rail precisely at the positions at which the cable openings in the cable
cover are located.
