INSTALLATION

Modify Octopus Cables if Required

If flag--type cable ties are shipped loose, they must be installed on the early production octopus cables. The flag-type cable tie location depends on the type of SIP arrangement (Figures 2-16and 2-17).Also, if the alternate SIP arrangement is used, later production octopus cables must be modified.

1.Check the octopus cables, if they have flag-type cable ties, go to Step 3. Otherwise, go to step 2.

2.Install flag-type cable tie so that the eight free ends of the octopus cable are 65 inches long for the standard SIP arrangement or 77 inches long for the alternate SIP arrangement.

3.If the alternate SIP arrangement (Figure 2-17)is used, clip off the last flag-type cable tie so that the eight free ends of the octopus cable are 77 inches long (Figure 2-30).
