Standard 06.01
Cabling Common Equipment in a Multi Group system
Procedure 31
Disconnecting cable connectors from the backplane
Use extreme caution to avoid bending or breaking backplane pins. Do not
insert the extraction tool unless the cable connector is locked into the securing
clip. A gentle tug on the cable will allow you to determine whether or not the
connector is secured. Do not force the extraction tool deeper than the tab on
side of the cable connector hood.
1
Grasp the cable connector by the strain relief tab.
2
Center the long flat edge at the straight end of the tool between the cable
connector hood and the securing clip.
Note: If the straight end of the tool is notched, use that end if the
connector can be accessed straight-on. If you must approach the
connector from any angle at all, use the angled end.
3
Gently insert the extraction tool and gradually apply pressure in the
direction directly toward the backplane while gently pulling the cable away
from the backplane. A gentle side-to-side rocking motion may be used on
the cable if needed.
CAUTION — Service Interruption
Damage to Equipment
Do not pry the against the connector with the
extraction tool. Simply inserting the tool between the
connector and the securing clip is sufficient to unlock
the connector. Prying may cause damage to the
connector or the backplane pins.
4
Stop applying pressure as soon as the cable connector comes loose from
the backplane.
5
Slowly remove the extraction tool and the cable connector.
