ZIF Connector
The 1800XL Series Notebooks use zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors on the system
board.

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 out simultaneously with constant light force.
Ä
CAUTION: When servicing this Notebook, ensure that cables are placed in their
proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can
damage the Notebook.
