Cables and Connectors
Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat the cables during insertion or removal
from connectors. Handle cables by the connector or pull tabs whenever possible. In all
cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that cables are placed

replaced.

Improper cable placement can cause severe damage to the unit. Ensure
that cables are placed in their proper location during the reassembly process when
servicing these computers.
