6. Strip the cable ends and conductors. When connecting to the drive I/O, also remove
the shield along with the outer sheathing, and use electrical tape or shrink tubing to
contain the strands. Elsewhere, twist outer shield strands into a bundle, crimp a lug
onto it and connect it to the nearest chassis grounding point.
Keep as short as possible
At the other end of the cable, leave
the shield unconnected, or connect
it to ground via a capacitor with a
value of a few nanofarads.
7. Connect the conductors to appropriate terminals.
8. Fasten the shrouds (if any).
9. Close the doors.
SHIELD*
*If no dedicated "shield" connector
is provided, ground the inner cable
shields to the chassis.
Where grounding clamps are not
available, twist the shield strands
into a bundle, crimp a lug terminal
onto it and fasten the lug to the
chassis. Secure the cable into
place with eg. cable ties.
