4 Replacement Procedures | 4.1 Overview |
Disassembly Procedure
Four main types of cable connector are used.
∙Pressure plate connector
∙Spring connector
∙Back flip connector
∙Normal pin connector
When disconnecting a pressure plate connector, lift up the tag on one side of the plastic pressure plate on the connector and pull the cable out from the connector. When reconnecting a cable to a pressure plate connector, lift up the pressure plate to a suitable height and insert the cable into the connector. Press down on both sides of the pressure plate such that both sides of the plate and connector are at the same height and that the cable is fixed in the correct position. Pull the cable to ensure that it is securely connected. If the cable is disconnected from the connector, reconnect it making sure that you lift the pressure plate high enough to insert fully the cable.
For spring connectors, lifting up the stopper frees the cable and allows it to be pulled out. To reconnect, hold the stopper in the up position and insert the cable, then lower the stopper to secure the cable.
For back flip connectors, lifting up the flip plate frees the cable and allows it to be pulled out. To reconnect, hold the flip plate in the up position and insert the cable, then lower the flip plate to secure the cable.
Normal pin connectors are used for all other cables. Simply pull out or push in these connectors to disconnect or reconnect.
