Removing the Right Side Panel

Remove the hardware securing the heat sinks of U13 and U12 to the right side panel (see Figure 4). Be

careful not to lose the lock washers inside the K3.

Figure 4. U13 and U12 Mounting Hardware.

Remove the screw holding the KANT3 board to the standoff and the screw holding the 2D fastener to the

rear panel near the SO239 antenna connector shown in Figure 5. Do not lose the lock washer inside the K3. It is
easier to keep the hardware from falling inside if you set the K3 on its side feet and remove the screw and lock
washer holding the KANT3 board first, then set it on its bottom feet and remove the flat head screw from the 2D
fastener.
