Refer to the table on page one for proper platen.  ub thumb along the length of paper liner to insure maximum adhesive transfer to the cover; then R remove liner. Press cable ribs into cover alignment grooves. 1. Visually inspect to insure that: a. Cable is properly aligned and oriented in cover grooves. b. Cable end is flush with cover for end terminations, or perpendicular to cover for mid-span terminations. 2. Position the 3M™ High-Speed Card-Edge Connector body in the locator plate, contacts up. Orient the connector for pin #1 to conductor #1 assembly. 3. Place the cable/cover sub-assembly over the connector body, inserting cover clips into body ports. 4. Lower the assembly press handle fully to complete the connection. 5. Raise the handle and remove the completed assembly. 6. Visually inspect to insure that: a. Cover is fully seated and parallel to the body. b. Cover retaining device is fully engaged with the body. 3 3M™ Locator Plate 3443-63 5.0 Polarizing: 3M™ Polarizing Key 3439-2 5.1 5.2 5.3 I nsert polarizing key (Figure 5) into desired key slot in connector, pushing until key bottoms in connector.
