Power Board Installation

Prerequisite Only
This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and isn’t meant to be used alone.

What you need

    1. Power Board Installation, Connect the power board cable: step 1, image 1 of 2 Power Board Installation, Connect the power board cable: step 1, image 2 of 2
      • Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the copper cable's connector until it slides fully into the socket on the underside of the power board.

      • Don't grip the cable and push it into the socket—you'll likely damage the cable.

      • The connector should slide in fairly easily when oriented correctly. If it doesn't, flip the connector over and try again.
