ZIF Connectors
The computer uses a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector for several cable connections on the system board. To remove a ZIF cable from its connector, pull both ends of the ZIF cable guide clasp out of the sleeve about 0.05 - 0.1" (1 - 2 mm) 
, then gently slide the cable out 
.
CAUTION: A ZIF connector and its attached cable can be easily damaged. Never pull or twist on the cable while it is connected.
CAUTION: Ensure that cables are replaced in their proper location. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
