CN3 clock LED info

"This LED is just an option Because EMS did not provide any power LED nor a clock LED on the KS there is no hole for an LED on the DKS case.
So it is up to the builder to use this feature or to leave it. CN3 gives one the option to connect the (optional) LED, when mounted or glued to the case. Otherwise the LED can be directly soldered to the PCB (on the upper side)." from Mathias

the Screw is 11mm instead of 10mm and touch the transformer 

use a 10mm screw

warning

make sure you solder carefully the LED - otherwise it can happen you have a short there:

in case you get too close or in contact with the "metal ring" you can use a Dremel and cut the metal ring as your needs

info

The Fan pinout depends on the direction of the PCB Header

that's how it works correctly

info

make sure to buy 4 x 10mm Standoffs which fits in the holes of the fan and attach 1mm washers - check the distance.

A option can be, to buy 2.5mm Versions instead of 3mm, and buy flat hat screws as described in the buildguide

Switch connector

a good way is to cut the header to get more space to the case bottom

Info

for easing and safety testing.

install a Connector and attach a Bipolar Bench Psu. under full load you need max. 250mA per Channel. (typical 150mA)

also, install 2 Jumpers as shown on the second picture (instead of a switch while testing)
