Removing the BEND/flex Cable
In order to install the rewritable optical controller PCA
into your mass storage system, the BEND/flex cable must
temporarily be removed.
When handling the BEND/flex cable, do not crease,
twist, or stress the cable or its connectors. Also, make
sure that the BEND/flex cable is at room temperature
when connecting or disconnecting any of its cables. The
BEND/flex cable tears easily when it is twisted. When
connecting a BEND/flex connector to another connector,
gently push directly from the back of the BEND/flex
connector and carefully push it onto the other connector.
To remove the BEND/flex cable, proceed as follows (see
Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9:
1. Remove the hard disk status indicator cable for each
hard disk drive from the BEND/flex status indicator
connectors.
2. Disconnect the BEND/flex SCSI adapter from each
device's SCSI connector by pressing both cable ejectors
outwards until the adapter cable is removed.
3. Remove the BEND/flex cable adapters from each SCSI
device in the mass storage system by pressing both cable
ejectors outwards until the cable is removed.
4. Remove the three T15 screws from the rear SCSI I/O
plate (one is in the top-center of the plate, and the other
two face downward into the chassis).
5. Gently push the BEND/flex connectors down before
removing the BEND/flex cable. This prevents the tabs
on the cable from getting caught on the hard disk drive
and power supply.
6. Slide the BEND/flex cable and the SCSI I/O plate out
the rear of the chassis (see Figure 3-9).
