Connector Shells - IBM Infoprint 6500-v05 Maintenance Manual

Connector Shells

Some of the printer cable connectors are grouped inside connector shells (P/N 14H5288) that plug into connectors J106 and
J107 on the controller board. The procedure below explains how to remove and install cable assemblies from any connector
shell in the printer.
NOTE: There is a diagram of the P106 / P107 connector shells on the plastic cover over the power supply.
Removal
1. Prepare the printer for maintenance (page 313).
2. Cabinet Model: Remove the paper guide assembly (page 348).
Pedestal Model: Remove the top cover assembly (page 327).
3. Disconnect the cable connector shell containing the cable assembly that will be replaced.
4. Pull the side of the connector shell outward and gently pull the cable connector upward. (See Figure 14.) Notice that two-
wire connectors are grouped across from two-wire connectors in a connector shell. Four-wire connectors are grouped
across from four-wire connectors in a connector shell.
5. Disengage the lock tab(s) on the cable connector from the slots in the side of the connector shell.
6. Remove the cable connector from the connector shell. (Remove only the cable connector for the cable you are replacing;
leave the rest in the shell.)
Installation
1. Position the cable connector in the connector shell. Two-wire connectors are always grouped across from two-wire
connectors in a connector shell. Four-wire connectors are always grouped across from four-wire connectors in a connector
shell. (See Figure 14.)
2. Pull the side of the connector shell outward and gently push the cable connector down into the connector shell.
3. Engage the tabs on the cable connector in the slots in the side of the connector shell. Press the sides of the connector shell
inward to make sure all cable connector tabs are engaged in the shell slots.
4. Connect the cable connector shell to its printer connection.
5. Cabinet Model: Install the paper guide assembly (page 348).
Pedestal Model: Install the top cover assembly (page 327).
6. Return the printer to normal operation (page 314).
