Procedure 7.4 - Replacing a Lower or Upper Data Cable
Procedure
Note: Before you install a new data cable, ensure that the data cable is defective. Refer to
Procedure 6.1. The upper data cable is connected to the upper PCA at the rear of the display,
and is then routed down the left outrigger tube. The upper data cable meets the lower data cable
at the bottom of the left outrigger tube. The upper data cable is connected to the lower data cable
via a coupler module. The lower data cable is routed through the frame from the bottom of the left
outrigger tube to the lower PCA.
1. Set the on/off switch in the “off” position, then unplug the power cord from the A.C. outlet.
Replacing an Upper Data Cable
2. Remove the display bracket cover and disconnect the data cable from the upper PCA. See
Diagram 6.2.
3. Carefully remove the left outrigger tube per Procedure 7.22 and carefully extract the cables
and mid-point connector from the frame. Disconnect the upper data cable from the mid-point
connector.
4. Tape one end of the replacement data cable to the display end of the existing data cable.
Carefully pull the existing upper data cable out of the hole at the bottom of the left outrigger
tube, as you feed the replacement data cable into the upper end of the left outrigger tube.
Stop when the replacement data cable appears out of the hole in the frame near the rear of
the ramp.
5. Remove the tape fastening the two data cables and discard the old data cable.
6. Reconnect the data cable to the rear of the upper PCA and replace the display bracket
cover.
7. Connect the data cable to the mid-point connector, place the cables and mid-point
connector in the frame.
8. Reinstall the left outrigger tube per Procedure 7.22.
9. Skip to step 18.
