2.2 Installing the Feet

Let's start by installing the feet on the chassis — this will make it easier to work with as we install
the transformers, Choke, etc.

  Turn the chassis upside down.
  Take a foot and insert an M4 screw with washer into it — it might be tight but just push it in.
  Install each foot in the hole in the chassis closest to the corner and secure it with an M4 nut on the

inside of the chassis. Don't over tighten the screw; you could damage the foot.
