ZIF Connector
The 1800XL Notebooks use many zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors on the system
board.
Ä 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.
To remove a cable from a ZIF connector, lift both corners of the ZIF connector and slide the
cable straight out with constant light pressure.
Ä CAUTION: When servicing these Notebooks, make sure that cables are placed in
their proper locations during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement
can damage the Notebook.
