Necessary Material
- IDC10 to DB9 Cable.
- Cutter.
- Scissors.
- IGEPv2 Hardware Reference Manual.
Procedure
The first step it's to separate the wires 5 and 6 for it you should start count from the red mark (the red mark it's the first, wire = 1) you should count 5 wires then you should do a cut between wires 5 and 6.
This is the result for the cut between wire 5 and 6.
Now you must cut the unnecessary wires (wires 6 to 10).
And the final result.
Now you're ready for test the result:
