Slide the cable forward until its connector aligns with the port (callout 3 in Figure 7), and secure the cable by pushing only on the metal connector body (callout 2 in Figure 7). Ensure that you keep the connector level and square with the port as you insert it. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for all remaining cables.

If you are installing an interconnect into the upper part of a dual-interconnect IBB, you must route the cables down the guide plate and support them by using the cable straps as shown in Figure 2, callout 4. Use the appropriate length strap for the cable bundle diameter. You need only use enough straps to keep the cable bundles tight to the plate, so that they do not interfere with the servicing of interconnect components. Figure 8 shows how to attach one of the straps to the cable guide plate.
