	The DCSSR Version 2.4 ~~attach directly to~~ the TA-200 Demarcation enclosure ~~using~~ #4 ~~sheet metal~~ screws.		The DCSSR Version 2.4 PCB is designed with attachment holes for #4 sheet metal screws for direct mounting into the TA-200 Demarcation enclosure. However, the enclosure bosses are designed for a minimum #6 screw. In order to attach the PCB to the enclosure bosses, either fill the lower mounting holes in the enclosure with hot glue and use #4 screws, or expand the PCB mounting holes by drilling (such as a #16 drill (.177" diameter) and attach directly with #6 x 5/8" long screws. The upper bosses in the enclosure may need to be filed down to allow the PCB to sit flush depending on the trimming of the component leads on the bottom of the PCB.

	Please note that the small hole in the lower corner of the board (nearest to the terminal block headers), is intended for use as a strain relief point. Place a small ''zip tie'' through this hole and around all incoming/outgoing cables, and tighten until ''snug''. This ensures that any accidental pulling on the cables won't jar the connectors loose from the terminal block headers.
