STEP 1
Unscrew seven (7) Screws AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm. Remove the backplate
together with the Screws and backplate standoffs. Standoffs must stay
on Screws AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm. Remove the PCB cardboard. Save the
removed parts for later steps.
Do not remove standoffs from screws! In case the
standoff detaches from the screw, replace it with a
spare one. When replacing the standoff make sure
that you screw it on the AX1 M2.5 x 8 screws. Do not
push the standoff onto the screw AX1 M2.5 x 8 mm.
