Internal cable routing

Disengage all latches, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors when disconnecting cables from the system board. Failing to release them before removing the cables will damage the cable sockets on the system board, which are fragile. Strictly observe the following instructions to avoid damaging cable sockets on the system board. Any damage to the cable sockets might require replacing the system board.

• Connect cable connectors vertically or horizontally in alignment with the orientations of the corresponding cable sockets, avoiding any tilt.

• To disconnect cables from the system board, do as follows:

  1. Press and hold all latches, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors to release the cable connectors.

  2. Remove the cable connectors vertically or horizontally in alignment with the orientations of the corresponding cable sockets, avoiding any tilt.

     Note

     The cable connectors might look different from those in the illustration, but the removal procedure is the same.
