Disassembly Procedures

The cable connectors come in these two basic types:

‰Pressure plate connectors

‰Normal pin connectors

To remove a pressure plate connector, pull up the tabs on either side of the connector's plastic pressure plate and gently pull the cable out of the connector. To reconnect the cable to the pressure plate's connector, raise the pressure plate up to a satisfactory height and slide the cable into the connector. Secure the cable in the correct position by pressing down the sides of the pressure plate so that the plate is flush with the sides of the connector. Grasp and pull the cable gently to check that the cable is connected firmly. If the cable comes off the connector, reinsert the cable by raising the pressure plate up to a satisfactory height.

Normal pin connectors are used for all the other types of cables. These connectors can be installed or removed by simply inserting them or pulling them out.

Assembly Procedures

You have to reassemble the computer after you have disassembled the computer and fixed the component that caused the problem.

When reassembling the computer, keep the following general guidelines in mind:

‰Take your time to carry out the suggested instructions completely. Hurried reassembly can often cause problems.

‰Check that all the cable and connectors are fastened securely.

‰Before securing the FRUs or other parts, check that the cables are not caught by the screws or FRUs.

‰Check that all the latches are closed securely.

‰Check that all the required screws are used to secure the FRUs. Using wrong screws can damage the threads or heads of the screws or does not ensure that the FRUs are secure.

After installing a FRU, make sure that the FRU and computer work normally.
