strap.
Before you begin, unpack the EBX-18 and accessories. Verify that you received all the items
you ordered. Inspect the system visually for any damage that may have occurred in shipping.
Contact [email protected] immediately if any items are damaged or missing.

It is recommended that you attach standoffs to the board now to stabilize the board and make it
easier to work with. (Refer to the section titled “Hardware Assembly” on page 11.)
