The cables are labeled with small flags. They specify the designation and
part number of the cable. The plugs and sockets on the cables are
designated both on the boards and cables. Check the designation when
you pull off the cables.
Some cables feature markings of green adhesive tape. Mark the
corresponding positions on the unit before removing an old cable. Lay the
new cable so that the cable markings again come to rest at the
corresponding positions marked on the unit while removing the old cable.
