ZIF drive cables and connectors are very fragile, so take extra care when working with ZIF components. Currently there are three known manufacturers of ZIF drives: Toshiba, Hitachi, and Samsung. Toshiba and Samsung share the same cable spec, where Toshiba has it’s own. Follow the steps below to determine how to connect your particular ZIF drive. To image a Toshiba drive, connect the Tableau TC20-3-2 ZIF cable to the adapter label face-up. Then connect the cable to the Toshiba drive, positioning the drive label face-down. To image a Samsung drive, connect the Tableau TC20-3-2 ZIF cable to the adapter label face-up. Then connect the cable to the Samsung drive, positioning the drive label face-up. To image a Hitachi drive, connect the Tableau TC20-3-3 ZIF cable to the adapter label face-up. Then connect the cable to the Hitachi drive, positioning the drive label face-up.
