Getting to the S3 Truss
AMS has to get from the Shuttle bay all the way out to the starboard truss. The Shuttle arm will pick AMS up out of the bay and bring it near the station. In midair, so to speak, the Space Station's own "Canada arm" will grab us. The Canada arm will roll out to the truss on its little railway, and plop AMS down on its mount point. All of the electrical and mechanical connections will be made by the amazingly-dextrous arm. 
Once we are plugged in, we want to get up and running as soon as possible. We will turn AMS on and make sure all of the computers, etc., are OK, and perhaps even record a few cosmic rays. And then we turn on the magnet!
