Reinstalling the KIO3 Board

Replace both bottom covers using the 4-40 black pan head screws you removed earlier. Note that three

locations take the 4-40 1/4” (6.4 mm) black pan head screws with lock washers as shown in Figure 6, while the
remainder are 4-40 3/16” (4.8 mm) screws. Be sure to replace these screws in the correct locations. Make sure
all the screws are secure, but do not over tighten them/

CAUTION!

Failure to replace the three 1/4” (6.4 mm) screws with their lock washers in the

locations shown in
