Screws
The screws used in these products are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used
during the reassembly process, it could cause damage to the unit. Compaq strongly
recommends that all screws removed during the disassembly process be kept with the part
that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
IMPORTANT:
As each subassembly is removed from the computer, it should be
placed away from the work area to prevent damage

Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the unit are ribbon cables (Figures 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, and
4-5). These 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 cables are placed in such a way
that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
The numbered cables show the recommended configuration for the ribbon cables. The
shaded lines indicate alternative configurations for additional optional hard drives, tape
drives, and diskette drives.
