related equipment, and then disconnect the power plug from the power source.
Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely
hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot
system.

Connecting with the pins bent may damage the connector and result in
malfunction of the robot system.
