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 prevent 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.
