> **Install the Front Panel Sticker.**

!!! important
    Position the sticker to be perfectly aligned and flushed with the top, bottom and right edges of the metal plate.

### STEP 4 - Install UPS Battery **(Optional)**

> **Insert the 2x long cable tights through the anchor slots.**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic9.png)

> **Position battery and secure it with the cable tights (cut the cable zip tight excess).**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic10.png)

> **Connect the 6-Pin Molex connector to Heliso64 board.**

!!! note
    Run the battery cable according to the drawing above.

### STEP 5 - Connect Front Panel

> **Connect the Front Panel USB and IDC connectors to Helios64 board.**

### STEP 6 - Install HDD Harness

> **Prepare the harness by sorting / untangle the wires to identify each connector based on their cable length.**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic14.png)

!!! note
    The longest cable is for HDD Slot 1. The second longest is for HDD Slot 2 and so on...

> **Connect the 8-Pin Molex connector to Heliso64 board.**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic15.png)

> **Install HDD Slot 1 connector with 2x screws (M3 x 5mm).**

!!! important
    Pay attention to HDD Slot connector orientation. The 4 power wires are supposed to be on the left, while the SATA cable is on the right. Power wires and SATA cable will cross each others which is expected. If you install the HDD Slot connector wrongly, then you won't be able to insert an HDD and might damage the connector.

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic16.png)

> **Connect SATA connector to Heliso64 SATA port 1. Then Secure the SATA cable with a cable tight like on the drawing below (cut the cable zip tight excess).**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic17.png)

> **Secure the power wires with 2x cable tights like on the drawing below (cut the cable zip tight excess).**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic18.png)

> **Repeat the same actions for HDD Slot 2 connector and connect its SATA connector to Helios64 SATA port 2.**

![!Kit Assembly](/helios64/img/kit/assembly_pic19.png)

> **Repeat the same actions for HDD Slot 3, 4 and 5 connectors. The completed harness installation should look like the drawing below.**

!!! important
    The harness includes 4x capacitors (little black cylinders) which their own attached wires. While install HDD Slot 3 and 4 connector, you need to secure those capacitors together with the HDD power wires as shown in the drawing below.

### STEP 7 - Install Back Panel

> **Install the 2x Fans with their grids to back panel with 8x screws (7/32" PC Fan Screw) **

!!! important
    Pay attention to the orientation off all items (back panel, fans and their grid) in the drawing below. Wrong assembly will impact air flow direction.
