Wiring Solenoids

Hey, our team last year did not use pneumatics on our robot. Since we didn't use them, we've been having a hard time figuring out how to connect the solenoids to the pneumatics bumper module for the cRIO. I have read somewhere that for the first time we don't need to wire the solenoids to the spike relay's as we had to do in the past. So does this mean there are 2 methods for wiring the solenoids? If so would someone be able to direct us on how to do it?

P.S we are using past years 12v SMC double solenoids, because we do not feel too confident about the new ones with all of the problems we've been reading in the forums.
