4 Replacement Procedures 4.1 Overview
Disassembly Procedures
Three main types of cable connector are used.
Pressure plate connector
Spring connector
Normal pin connector
1. When disconnecting a pressure plate connector, draw the tab 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, draw enough the pressure plate
and insert the cable into the connector. Press 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 draw
enough the pressure plate to insert fully the cable.
2. 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.
3. Normal pin connectors are used for all other cables. Simply pull out or push in these
connectors to disconnect or reconnect.
