Mountain Mods – Modular Removable Motherboard Tray – Instructions / Assembly
The Mountain Mod Modular/Removable motherboard tray comes flat packed. Each individual item is wrapped
tightly in a special non-adhesive static cling plastic wrap. The wrap protects the finish from scratching,
scuffing, fingerprints and movement during transit. It is important to TAKE CARE when removing the wrap.
It is recommended to find the edge of the wrap and unroll it or grab a pair of scissors, create a pocket by lifting
up an area of plastic and cut the wrap. Make sure if you use sharp instruments to not scratch into the parts.
It is not recommended to rip the plastic as this may cause bending of parts from the pressure placed upon them.
