{{NoteBox|In the latest kits (v4.5), the ZynAuCon board includes a mini-jack headphones connector with a volume wheel. Also, the aluminum case has 2 extra holes for securing the ZynAuCon with 2 x M2.5 bolts.}}

{{WarningBox|Some aluminum cases have the LEDs mounting holes a little bit bigger than it should be. For patching this issue you could use a drop of glue from the inner side.}}
When it's done, you have to plug the LED wires into the 2 spare "DUPONT" connectors from the MIDI harness (green & yellow wires). Polarity is important, so don't cross the wires:

{{NoteBox|The Hifiberry DAC+ADC Stage may include some nylon spacers and bolts. You can choose to use these instead of the metal ones included with the Zynthian kit. }}
{{NoteBox|Note that the "Hifiberry DAC+ADC Stage", included in the 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3 kits, and the "ZynADAC", included in the 4.4 kit, have no RCA connectors. Photos may show an older model, but these instructions are accurate for 4.1 to 4.4 kits. }}

=Close the case=
Once everything is in its place and you have tested that it works, it's time to close the case
Take your time to bend and push the cables to get a good fit when closing the case. The ribbon bus cable is pre-bent to make this process easier.

{{WarningBox| If you have a v4.5 kit or higher, you should take extra care for getting the mini-jack headphones connector and the volume wheel to fit into their places. Put special attention to not forcing the volume wheel when opening or closing the case! }}
Finally, fasten the 8 self-taping bolts to secure the case, 4 on each side.
