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.
