self install instructions don't match my whole home config

I have Whole Home and am referencing those instructions that came with the self install kit.  I'm at the very first step and the instructions do not match the wiring config on my install.  It says to locate the coax connected on the "Towards LNB" end of the connected home adapter.  Well, my adapted doesn't say this at all.  It has these two options:  Power to SWM and Signal to IRD.  What the heck?  The adapter in the manual looks nothing like the one installed.  Which one is it?  The rest of the instructions make sense, but the fact that these don't match is frustrating.

Nevermind!  It worked when I used the Signal to IRD end as the Towards LNB end.  Everything else worked perfectly.

Note that the reason the instructions did not match was that you were not looking at a DECA adapter, you were looking at the Power Inserter.  If you happen to have a HR24, there is no DECA adapter and you used the wrong set of instructions.  HR24 owners are to use the bottom picture and the instructions on page 15.
