Replacement Procedures
Disassembly Procedure
Three main types of cable connector are used.
• Pressure plate connector
• Spring connector
• Normal pin connector
When disconnecting a pressure plate connector, lift up the tag on one side of the plastic
pressure plate and pull the cable out from the connector. When reconnecting a cable, 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 so that both sides and connector are at the same height, then
the cable will be 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. Make sure that you
lift the pressure plate high enough to fully insert the cable.
For spring connectors, lift up the stopper to free the cable. To reconnect it, you just need to
hold the stopper in the up position and insert the cable, lower the stopper 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.
