Step 8:  Secure the Drive Bracket to the Kit Base by screwing four
flat-headed screws into the mounting posts of the Kit Base.

Note:  Do not overtighten the screws onto the mounting
posts, as this may nullify the shock-dampening effect of the
rubberized ends of the posts.

Caution:  Be extremely careful in carrying out the next
several steps as they involve manipulating the delicate
bronze-colored ribbon of the Drive Connector, which, if
damaged, cannot be replaced.

Step 9:  Slowly but firmly
push the green IC board of the
Drive Connector slightly right,
as show here, so that its left
edge clears the inner left side
of the Kit Base.  Push the
green IC board down into the
slot between the inner rear of
the Kit Base and the two raised
posts of the Base.  In doing
this, the bronze-colored ribbon
will ripple slightly - be careful
not to tear or pinch the ribbon
while completing this.

Step 10:  Once the green IC
board is resting in its slot (you
may have to keep a finger on it
to keep it there), gently push
down on the bronze-colored
ribbon to tuck it into the space
between the green IC board
and the drive. Again , be very
careful not to damage the ribbon.
