When using an rm3di you can use the flash sync port on the back to sync flash.
When on an SLR like a phase one DF+ you use the port on the body instead.
I recommend using a wireless transmitter rather than a cable direct to the strobe. It's very unlikely but if, for instance, someone dropped a metal pole onto your flash pack the resulting electrical spike could travel up the sync cable to the back. It's also one less trip hazard.

I second what Doug said about Cables, especially if you use an older studio flash, these may give voltage spikes over the sync.
So it is always better to use remote IR or radio trigger.
