When working with the side panels in the following steps,

place a soft cloth on your work surface to protect the paint.

Locate the two side panels. Remove any masking tape from the

panels using the same technique described in the Front Panel section,
taking care not to scratch the outer surfaces.

Arrange the two panels as shown in Figure 6-6, and verify that

they are mirror images of each other. The 2-D fasteners to be attached
in the next step go on the inside surface, which has bare aluminum
areas that were masked during painting. (Note: the actual size and
shape of masked areas may vary.)

Install two 2-D fasteners on each side panel at the locations

indicated by small rectangles in Figure 6-6. Use one chassis screw to
hold each fastener to the side panel (see Figure 6-7). The two unused
holes on each fastener must be offset away from the side panel.
