Disassembly Procedures
The T1960CS/T1960CT has two basic types of cable connectors:
Pressure Plate Connectors
Normal Pin Connectors
To disconnect a Pressure Plate connector, pull the pressure plate's side tabs straight out
(toward the cable) and slide the cable out of the connector. To connect a cable to a Pressure
Plate connector, make sure the pressure plate is open by fully extending the side tabs, then
slide the cable into the connector. Secure the cable in place by pushing the side tabs of the
pressure plate in so the plate is flush with the sides of the connector. Gently pull on the cable
to make sure it is secure. If you pull out the connector, connect it again making sure the
pressure plate's side tabs are fully extended when you insert the cable.
Standard pin connectors are used with all other cables. These connectors can be connected
and disconnected by simply pulling them apart or pushing them together.
