Re: Connecting the 9406-520 to the expansion tower

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So that is the SPCN cable. You are supposed to connect two of them but 
only one is required for the system to run. Without it the expansion 
tower will not power up.

One end goes to SPCN 0 on the 520. There should be two ports next to 
each other SPCN 0 and 1. Be sure to use the lower numbered one!

One the expansion tower there will be four ports that look quite similar 
but the white plastic plug in one hole of each prevents you from using 
the 3rd and 4th which is good since you want this cable on the lower 
numbered SPCN port, I believe they are numbered SPCN 1 and 2 on that.
