Some details of the process I use.
1. I adjust the low limit and cage position without the cable attached.
2. I make sure (or I think I make sure) shifter is zeroed out by shifting several times to get it in the low position.
3. I attach the cable. It is usually routed over the top of the leverage tab, and then attached horizontally (there is a groove in the attachment point).
4. I adjust the high limit after running the derailleur through multiple shifts up and down (assuming it works).
