Attach the bottom cover as shown in Figure 16. Note that the bottom cover only fastens to one of the

two screw holes in each of the 2D fasteners mounted at the corners of the circuit board. The remaining
screw holes in those 2D fasteners will be used to secure the front and rear panels. When positioning the
bottom cover, be sure the open hole shown in Figure 16 lines up with the hole in the tab for R6 mounted
on the circuit board.

When assembling the cabinet pieces, start each screw in the threads before

tightening any screws. When adding more cabinet sections in future steps, you may
need to loosen the screws for other sections so they can be adjusted slightly as needed
to fit properly. Once you have done that and finished assembling your KAT500, you
can remove and replace individual cabinet sections easily without further
adjustments.
