connectors on the opposite ends: XUSR, XFP, and XMCP.
NOTE: The plastic molding on each connector is labeled for identification.
Installing Peripherals and Options

XUSR connector.
2. Connect the Front Panel cable to the XFP connector on the AIB XPANEL cable.
3. Connect the other end of the Front Panel cable to the Front Panel.
4. If you are not using the optional T2 pendant, verify that:
• The XMCP Jumper Plug is installed in the XMCP connector of the AIB
XPANEL cable
or
• The T1/T2 Bypass Plug is plugged into the S1 end of the T1/T2 Adapter
Cable, and the Adapter Cable is plugged into the AIB XPANEL cable.
5. If your system uses the optional T2 pendant, follow these steps.

XPANEL cable.

3.4 Connecting User-Supplied PC to Robot
The Adept Cobra i600/i800 robots must be connected to a user-supplied PC for setup,
control, and programming. The user loads the Adept ACE software onto the PC and
connects it to the robot via an RS-232 serial cable.
