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 2-16 and 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).
