Place the front panel sheet metal over the front panel pc board so that all the key caps and LEDs pass

through the openings and the pc board rests against all of the standoffs. If you have difficulty, look closely at the

LEDs. One slightly out of alignment will hit the edge of the opening in the sheet metal. If needed, carefully

adjust the position of the LEDs.

Secure the front panel board to the standoffs as shown in Figure 58.

Figure 58. Installing the Front Panel Board.

Inspect the rows of LEDs on the front panel. If any LEDs are out of line , straighten them by running your

finger or fingernail along them, pressing the LEDs against the opposite side of the opening. Optionally you can

straighten the LEDs by pressing a straight edge (such as a rule) against them, pressing them against the opposite

side of the opening.
