Attaching the Rubber Feet
Attach the supplied four rubber feet to the KISS 4U V3 SKX platform, to avoid scratching the user environment’s
surface. For the desktop variant, position a rubber foot close to each corner on the bottom side. For the tower variant,
position the four rubber feet on the left side of the desktop variant, close to each corner as shown in Figure 24. When
used in a 19” industrial rack, no rubber feet are required.
Attach the four rubber feet close to the four corners to improve the stability of the
KISS 4U V3 SKX tower variant.
