CHAPTER 3: Configuration
3.4 Reclosing the Housing
Before you go any further, make absolutely sure the jumper settings are
correct, because the last thing you want to do is get the V.35 SME put back
together and then have to turn around and disassemble it again.

Take the housing panel that you removed in
Section 3.1.2
and place it in
position to be reattached, with the “snap flanges” on either side of the panel
lined up flush against the matching flanges on the still-attached bottom panel.
When the panel is in the right position, grasp the Port B end of the V.35 SME
firmly on both sides and press the top and bottom panels together to snap the
top panel back into place.
Now take one of the two screws you removed in
Section 3.1.2
and thread it
back into its screwhole in the M/34 connector. Push it in just far enough so
that its pointy end slightly protrudes from the other side of the hole. Now,
with a screwdriver holding the screw in place, fit the washer over the end of
the screw, then lay the nut on the end of the screw and turn the nut or the
screw just far enough for them to grip. (You might want needle-nosed pliers
for this step. If the washer and/or the nut slip through the adjacent hole and
into the V.35 SME, just carefully shake them out through the open middle
section of the unit onto your work surface and start over.) Now use a fingertip
to hold the nut in place and turn the screwdriver until the screw is securely
fastened. Repeat this process with the other screw.

Take the top and bottom panels of the middle section of the V.35 SME’s
housing, which you removed in
Section 3.1.1
, and slide them back into
position to be reattached, with the “snap flanges” on either side of each panel
lined up flush against the matching flanges on the opposite panel. Then press
them together until they snap into place.
