The two power cord wires must be kept separate

while the power supply is plugged in. Remove
power before wiring.

The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires

is important. The ideal length is 0.2" (5 mm).
Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires
are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors
and could be pulled out.

Your MDA may have shipped with a blue captive screw

connector. This blue connector can be plugged into
either a blue or an orange power receptacle.

The blue connector does not have the extended tail or the
included tie-wrap.

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them

in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as
secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
