Adding the Synchronization Cable to the 
Expander Frame
If you have a mainframe without synchronization cable (this is the bus 
cable that comes out at the front of the clock module), you need to add 
the synchronization cable to use it as an expander frame.
To add the synchronization cable to an expander frame:
1 Remove the first clock module of the mainframe, as described in ”How 
to Remove a Module” on page 44.
2 Open the clock module, as described in ”How to Open a Module” on 
page 47.
3 Plug the synchronization cable into either one of the corresponding 
plugs in the clock module, as shown in Figure 17. It does not matter 
which one you use.

4 Close the clock module, and reinsert it in the mainframe. See ”How to 
Add a Module” on page 44.
