At the upper rear corner of the side panel you just identified in the previous step, mount a 2D fastener as
shown in Figure 22, using a black 4-40 1/2” (13 mm) flat head screw (SS). Remember that flat head screws are
measured from the flat top to the end of the threads. Note that the screw extends some distance through the 2D
fastener.
Figure 22. Mounting 2D fastener for KANT3 or KAT3 Standoff.
Screw a 4-40 1/2” (13 mm) standoff onto the exposed end of the screw as shown in Figure 23. Do not use a
lock washer between the standoff and the 2D fastener. Tighten the standoff securely against the 2D fastener.
Set the side panel aside temporarily.
