      I'm going to install my APU1D4 from PC Engines in the enclosure. I have read the cooling assembly instructions many times, but I'm still a little nervous for making mistakes.

      Does anyone have any advice or tips on installing the board in the enclosure?

        I suppose you looked here: http://pcengines.ch/apucool.htm
        I took a different approach for the 3rd picture ("Bottoms up" - hold the enclosure base upside down…)

        I taped the enclosure to my working table (thus bottoms-down with double-sided adhesive tape -> so it wouldn't move), and inserted the board through the openings for the rj45 holes. (YMMV)

        Either way should work I guess...
        In doubt, you could try the sequence first without the adhesive pads?

        Good luck  ;)
