ZIF Connectors

The computer uses a zero insertion force
(ZIF) connector for the keyboard cable to the
system board. To remove a cable from a ZIF
connector, lift both corners of the ZIF
connector and slide simultaneously with
constant light force.
CAUTION: A ZIF connector and
its attached cable can be easily
damaged. Handle only the
connector slide when removing
or replacing a cable. Never pull
or twist on the cable while it is
connected.
CAUTION: When servicing this
computer, ensure that cables
are placed in their proper
location during the reassembly
process. Improper cable
placement can damage the
computer.
