14. Switches

1. Verify that the pins of the switches are straight.

   • Bent pins will not seat properly into the hot-swap sockets and can damage them.

   

2. Place a switch at each corner of the top side of the switch plate.

   • Make sure they clip securely into the switch plate.

   

3. Position the switch plate onto the PCB.

   • Align the switches on the corners with their corresponding hot-swap socket.

4. Press the switches into their socket.

   • The switches should now sit flush with the PCB.

   

5. Install the remaining switches.

   1. Position the switch onto the switch plate.
      • Be careful when positioning the thumb cluster switches.
      • Be careful when positioning the switches near the battery; make sure the battery cable is out of the way.
   2. Press the switch into the switch plate and the hot-swap socket.
   3. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining 30 switches.
