7. If the MCU is standalone, reassemble the side panels.
If the MCU is rack mounted, mount the unit on the rack and connect all
the external cables.
8. Using the cable provided with the MPI kit, connect the 160-pin
connector to Port A of the MPI-8 Network Interface front panel. Connect
the other end of the cable to a (Ports 1-4) 160-pin connector of the MPI
Box; by doing this procedure we have utilized the MPI Box as a MPI-4.
9. Using a second cable, connect the angled 160-pin connector to Port B of
the MPI-8 Network Interface front panel. Connect the other end of the
cable to B (Ports 5-8) 160-pin connector of the MPI Box.
Using this procedure we have utilized the MPI Box as a MPI-8.
