The tabs of the Drag-Chain can be flipped open with a small flathead screwdriver. Doing this will help to feed the cables.

The end of the stepper motor wires with the black connectors should be at the male end of the X-Drag-Chain (opposite to Y-Axis).

Attach the female end of the X-Drag-Chain to the Drag-Chain-Fixed-End on the V Slot-2040-750mm. It will take some force to click it into the Drag-Chain-Fixed-End. A small flathead screwdriver can be used to help pry the Drag-Chain in place.

Bring the male end of the X-Drag-Chain up to the X-Axis-Moving-End-Assembly and attach it to the Drag-Chain-Moving-End. It will take some force to click it into the Drag-Chain-Moving-End. A small flathead screwdriver can be used to help pry the Drag-Chain in place.
