Locate the connector housings (backshells). Open the bags and remove all hardware. Each backshell
consists of two plastic halves, two long jackscrews, a small cable clamp, and associated hardware.
Attach a backshell (two halves) to one of the D connectors as shown in Figure 8. Use the provided
cable clamp to hold the cable in the proper position, then secure the clamp with two small screws. The two
jackscrews must be retained in position by the shells when the two halves are joined. Secure the backshell
halves with the provided hardware. Once this is completed, attach a backshell to the other D connector.
