ZIF Connectors
Some of the computer’s interface connectors are zero insertion force (ZIF) 
connectors. These connectors are not removable, but they must be released 
to disconnect a cable from them (see Figure 4).
Figure 4.  Disconnecting an Interface Cable
NOTICE: The ZIF connectors are fragile. To avoid damage, do not 
apply too much pressure to the movable part of the connector.
To disconnect an interface cable from a ZIF connector, perform the following 
steps:
1.
Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver under the movable part of the 
connector.
2. Pull gently upward on the movable part of the connector until it releases 
the interface cable.
3. Grasp the interface cable and pull it out of the connector.
To reconnect an interface cable to a ZIF connector, perform the following 
steps:
1.
Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to open the movable part of the ZIF 
connector.
2. Orient the end of the interface cable with the ZIF connector, and insert the 
end of the cable into the connector.
3. While holding the cable in place, close the ZIF connector.
To ensure a firm connection, make sure the ZIF connector is completely 
closed.
