So I bought a S-420iF and this is my first time working with an Operator's Box.
When I opened the operator's box up I found a wire had been cut that appears to power the board. I am trying to determine where to reconnect these wires.
6 wires
Black -1475 ---- S3+
Red - 1476 --- S3-
Black - 1477 --- +24V
White - 1478 --- 0V
Green --- FG
Blue --- Open

I have found this diagram, but the diagram doesn't indicate where to connect the +24V and 0V to...

Those wires that are cut in your picture go to the controller and are bundled into a larger cable inside the Operator Panel.
You seem to be missing this cable.In the attached picture you can see the 3 connectors, grey silver and white, these come together with your wires and go to the controller.

Thank you so much,
Any idea where they might got in the controller? Here are more pictures of my setup. My inclination is that the 24V and 0V got to CP5. The other four wires appear to got to CRS8A and CRS8B based on continuity testing of the controller's shipped configuration.I have created an album of pictures of the controller setup in case more documentation is helpful :https://goo.gl/photos/VbGE5qCFrGgqzLQg6

Do you have the cable?
The robot will not work unless you have that cable from the controller to the operator panel.
You need to have the connectors I show in the picture.
Without it you wont even be able to turn the power on. -
I can see you do have the cable from one of the pictures.
And it looks like the colored wires are there as well you just need to splice them back together or terminate them on the strip.

So we got the controller to boot up. It appears there was a short in the Operator box ON button. We are now seeing a large number of errors. I have added more pictures to the album found here: https://goo.gl/photos/VbGE5qCFrGgqzLQg6
Additionally can someone help us diagnose the sequence that happens at startup?

Thank you again for all your help. Feeling like we are very close to seeing this robot move! -
Checksum means the system software is corrupted and you may have to reload it.
You could try another teach pendant just to be certain that isn't the issue, but more than likely you will need to load software.
-
How would we go about reloading the system software? We've done some research and haven't found any guidance about that process. Is there a good resource we could use?
-
You will need to use KFloppy to load software and a cable to connect from the Op panel and a computer.
Just search Kfloppy and you should find a good number of posts on it.

Ummm... If I recall correctly, that Checksum: ... line is just for information and does not mean a checksum error (there is a separate Checksum error message for that)
I guess the bigger problem are the LEDs on the main CPU board.If the LED sequence stops on that last state from the GIF you've uploaded, according to the manual:
- 3 STATUS LEDs from the right mean that during software initialization, the axis module fault was detected (replace the axis module)
- all 3 ALARM LEDs mean that a parity alarm occured in the RAM of the main CPU board (replace the DRAM module / replace the SRAM module / replace the main CPU PC board)What I would do first is checking all the fuses (including any that are on the PCBs) and paths on PCBs - just be sure to have a battery plugged to the main CPU board when removing it from the controller (and if you need to remove the battery from the PSU for that purpose, do it ONLY when the controller is powered up). If that doesn't do any good... well,
