must mount both boards to the heatsink before soldering them together.
1. Position the main board on the spacers. Align the mounting holes for
Q3, D1, and the board itself, then fit the M3 Torx screws. Tighten
the screws to the correct torque.
2. Position the DC input filter board on the heatsink and secure with
the M3 Torx screws. Ensure the legs of the two feedthrough
