DeLuSioNal29:

black (hot)
white (neutral)
green (ground)

So:
AC L = Black wire
AC N = White wire
Common = Green wire

The silver is part of the sheath.  So it doesn't connect to anything.

Also, you may want to get a multimeter to test the voltage on the +5v which is adjustable by turning that knob on top left or right.

Awesome, thanks for the help!   Unless I hear otherwise, I will just assume the two COMs are simply that, just two common/ground wires to use as I wish.

DeLuSioNal29:

That is correct.

smalltownguy:

The reason they put two 'coms' on the switchers (sorry, switching power supplies) is b/c sometimes there are so many things that require being hooked to ground that providing an additional com connection means you don't need to wire 4 things to one post. Just makes things easier.

The upside down christmas tree symbol is for the ground from your ac plug and also frame ground in the cab.  Do not confuse this with com or common which is for the dc voltages only.
