Mount four 2-56 5/16” (7.9 mm) standoffs on the front panel display board as shown in Figure 4. Be sure
to place one lock washer between the standoff and the pc board as shown. This lock washer is important to
establish the proper height of the standoff.
Figure 4. Mounting Standoffs on Front Panel Board.
Locate the front panel. There are holes at each corner of the top and bottom flange and four holes around
the opening for the display. The inside surface of the panel was masked during painting to ensure a small area of
clean metal around each hole. Check each hole to ensure there was no tape left and the metal is clean and
visible. This is important to ensure good grounding between the panels making up the cabinet.
Remove the plastic display bezel from its protective wrapping and inspect it for dirt and dust, especially on
the flat side that will face the display panel. Use a soft cloth if necessary to remove any objects clinging to the
plastic. Similarly, inspect and clean the face of the display. If either requires further cleaning see Cleaning the
LCD Bezel
on page 59.
Look closely at the edge of the bezel and note that the edge is slightly beveled on one side. This side will
face away from the front panel.
