Disassembly Procedures
The computer has three basic types of cable connectors:
Pressure Plate Connectors
Normal Pin Connectors
Flexible Cable Connectors
To disconnect a Pressure Plate connector, lift up the tabs on either side of the plastic pressure
plate and slide the cable out of the connector. To connect the cable to a Pressure Plate
connector, make sure the pressure plate is fully lifted and slide the cable into the connector.
Secure the cable in place by pushing the sides of the pressure plate down so the plate is flush
with the sides of the connector. Gently pull on the cable to make sure the cable is secure. If
you pull out the connector, connect it again making sure the pressure plate is fully lifted
when you insert the cable.
Standard pin and flexible cable connectors are used with all other cables. These connectors
can be connected and disconnected by simply pulling them apart or pushing them together.
Assembly Procedures
After you have disassembled the computer and fixed or repaired the problem that was
causing the computer to operate abnormally, you will need to reassemble the computer.
While assembling the computer, remember the following general points:
Take your time, making sure you follow the instructions closely. Most problems
arise when you hurry to assemble the computer.
Make sure all cables and connectors are securely fastened.
Before securing the FRU or other parts, make sure that no cables will be pinched by
screws or the FRU.
Check that all latches are closed securely in place.
Make sure all the correct screws are used to secure all FRUs. Using the wrong screw
can damage either the threads on the screw or the head of the screw and may prevent
proper seating of an FRU.
After installing an FRU in the computer confirm that the FRU and the computer are
functioning properly.
