Cables
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Use the following precautions
when handling cables to avoid damage to the cable and the Notebook:
Always handle cables by their connectors.
•
In all cases avoid bending, twisting, pulling, or tearing cables.
•
Apply only the minimum pressure required to seat or unseat cables from their
•
connectors.
Place the cables so that they are not caught or snagged by parts being removed or
•
replaced.
Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear easily.

CAUTION: When servicing these Notebooks, ensure that cables are placed in their
