Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the units are ribbon cables; they must be handled with extreme care to
avoid damage.
Use the following precautions when handling cables to avoid damage to the cable or computer:
Apply only the required tension to seat or unseat the cables during insertion and removal from the connector.
Handle cables by the connector whenever possible.
In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that the cables are routed in such a way
that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
Handle flex cables with extreme
care; they can tear easily.
CAUTION: When servicing these computers, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can cause severe damage to the unit.
Select the desired illustration.
