Before attaching the cable, push the derailleur onto low gear by hand, adjust the low limit screw so it shifts easily onto the inner sprocket but with no sign of wanting to go further. Repeat with the small sprocket and high limit screw. Now attach the cable as you did, with shifter and derailleur in high gear, the cable adjuster(s) wound in and minimal cable slack. Run through the gears, probably wind a cable adjuster out slightly so they index correctly in both directions.
