2. Choose a type of terminal block.
3. Choose a type of terminal.
4. Type the number of terminals to be inserted.
5. Type the name of the first terminal.
6. Click Add.
  The terminals appear in the Terminals To Be Created area.
Click OK to create the terminal block and close the Create Equipment Terminal Block dialog box.
