  6. Open the dot matrix display panel by pushing the two latches, located above the speaker enclosures, out towards the sides of the backbox. Now lower the display panel.
  7. Connect the serial data cable (C-00197) to connector J3 on the CPU PCB.
  8. Route the cable around the CPU board dressing the cable to existing cable with 2 cable ties at the corners of the CPU PCB and cable clamps.
