the wedge - shaped opening of the slot is positioned upwards.
that the two ends of piece C are rot symmetrical.
wider space between the last small hole for mounting the card guide
and the end flange is placed toward the back of the cabinet, so
that the guides will line up with the connectors on the Mother board.
The card guides should be assembled starting from the front end
(with card guide mounting holes placed closer to the end flange).
Make sure you place the card guide so as to form a left hand and a
right hand mounting-rail piece.

are mounted into the cabinet.

(Alternately, the card guides may be installed very care

tabs are started into the hole when beginning to press the guide
into place, otherwise one or both may be bent out flat and broken
off.
One end of the guide at a time should be inserted rather than
trying to press both ends in simultaneously.
If a fan is to be installed in the chassis, it should be assembled
on the back frame piece Al at this time using the hardware in the
fan kit.
The fan terminals should be towards the top and towards
the Mother board side of the chassis.
