Some of the computer’s interface connectors are zero insertion force (ZIF)
connectors. These connectors are not removable; they must be released to
disconnect a cable from them.
To disconnect a cable from a ZIF connector, follow these steps:
1. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver or dental pick under the movable part
of the connector (see Figure 4-12).
For most ZIFs, carefully pry up first one end of the movable part of the con-
nector and then the other end. Some ZIFs may need to be lifted in the
center.
