Connectors and Plastic Parts

Plastic parts can be damaged by using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly. When handling the plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.

ZIF Connector

The 1600XL Series Notebooks use zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors on the system board.

ÄCAUTION: A ZIF connector and its attached cable can easily be damaged. Handle only the connector slide when removing or replacing a cable. Never pull or twist on the cable while it is connected.

To remove a cable from a ZIF connector, lift both corners of the ZIF connector and slide the cable out simultaneously with constant light pressure.

ÄCAUTION: When servicing the Notebook, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the Notebook.
