1. On a sturdy flat surface, lay the power supply on its top.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from their plastic bag in the shipping box.
3. Remove the protective strip from the back of one rubber foot and position it on a bottom corner of
the power supply.
Press the rubber foot firmly into place.
Repeat this step for each of the remaining three rubber feet.
4. After installing the rubber feet, return the power supply to its upright position.
