Installing Panels
1Panels are shipped with the cabling labels for B wiring already
installed. If the installation uses A wiring, insert the cabling
labels for A wiring in the slots on the back of the panels. Make
sure that the labels are oriented with the right side up (Figure 1).
2Make sure that the panel bus jumpers are firmly connected to
the panels (Figure 2).
3Install the panels on the rack using the 4 screws provided
(Figure 3). Be careful not to pinch the panel bus jumpers
between the panels and the rack.
4Snap the decorative bezels onto the front of the panels.
(Figure 4).
5Remove the adhesive backing from the cable retainers on the
panel bus jumpers.
6Connect the panel bus connector on each jumper to the
nearest connector on the panel bus, folding the jumper as
shown (Figure 5). Press the cable retainers against the rack.
