Cables and Connectors

Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables. Cables must be handled with extreme care
to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cables during insertion or
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.
