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.
