your autoloader).

HDC connector, use the cable that has HDC connectors on both ends.

- OR -

If you are connecting the autoloader to a device that uses a
high-density VHDC connector, use the cable that has the VHDC
connector on one end and the HDC connector on the other.

Make sure that the autoloader is turned off (press the right side of the power
switch).
