To disconnect a cable from a Pressure Plate Connector, release the tabs on both sides of the plastic
connector and slide the cable out of the connector.
To connect a cable to a Pressure Plate Connector, make sure the tabs of the Pressure Plate Connec-
tor are fully extended. Insert the flexible cable, silver side up into the connector. Secure the cable
in place by pressing down on the tabs so they are flush with the sides of the connector. Gently pull
on the cable to make sure the cable is secure. If the cable comes out of the connector, connect it
again making sure the tabs of the connector are fully extended when you insert the cable.
The Normal Pin Connectors are used to connect the remaining cables. These cables can be connected
and disconnected from the connectors by simply pulling them apart and pushing them together.
4.1.3 Reassembly Procedures
After you have disassembled the T3300SL and fixed or replaced the FRU, you will need to reas-
semble the T3300SL. While assembling the T3300SL remember the following general points:
❑
Take your time and make sure you follow the reassembly instructions closely. Most
problems arise when you get in a hurry to reassemble the T3300SL.
❑

flexible cables. The flexible cables all have one side that is silver. Always make
sure you connect these cables with the silver side facing up.
❑
Before securing replaced parts, make sure the cables will not be pinched by screws
or other parts during reassembly.
❑
Make sure all latches and pressure plate connectors are locked into place.
❑
Be sure to use the correct screws to secure the various parts. Screw sizes are listed
in the corresponding Figures.
