Installation

Complete the following steps in the order listed:

Install the Enclosure Panels

Tip! To install the enclosure panels, work from the left to the right of the machine.
To make it easier to install all components, don't install the side windows until later in the procedure.
Keep all screws one quarter-turn loose while installing the enclosure panels. This makes it easier to align the panels. Once you're done installing the enclosure, fully tighten all screws.
