1. Lift the left or right top corner of the plastic outer trim ring, then pull it out to remove it.

2. Insert the two bracket keys into the left and right sides of the chassis to separate the chassis from the housing.

3. Install the mounting sleeve on the board. Check the opening size of the sliding panel to be mounted. If the measurement is not large enough, carefully cut it until it fits easily into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening to avoid bending it. Locate the series of mounting tabs above, below, and on all sides of the sleeve. Completely insert it into the opening of the board, and bend the tabs as necessary outward to ensure it fits the board.
