Installing the Metal Case

Removing the Transparent Acrylic Top Plate

For Milk-V Jupiter2 units that are not pre-installed with the metal case, you first need to remove the pre-installed transparent acrylic top plate and its mounting standoffs from the board, then replace the standoffs on the front side of the board with the 4 M2.5 * 18 mm standoffs that come with the metal case.

At the same time, please remove the raised standoffs from the heatsink on the back of the board to avoid interfering with the metal case installation.

Installing the Light Guide Pillar

Install the light guide pillar to the corresponding position on the board and confirm that it is firmly seated.

Connecting the SMA Pigtail Cables

Connect the 2 SMA pigtail cables from the metal bottom cover to the antenna connectors on the board.

When connecting, gently press the connector to ensure the pigtail is latched in place to prevent it from loosening during subsequent installation steps.

Installing the Metal Top Cover

Slide the board into the corresponding position on the metal top cover, then secure the board to the top cover with 4 KM2.5 * 4 mm screws.

Installing the Metal Bottom Cover

Align the edges of the metal top cover with the metal bottom cover, then slowly slide the bottom cover into place.

Please note the following during installation:

Ensure that the board's connectors are aligned with the cutouts on the bottom cover;
Ensure that the SMA pigtail cables sit in the connector slot and are not pinched by the case;
Do not use excessive force when sliding in the cover, to avoid damaging the connectors or cables.

Once the position is confirmed to be correct, secure the top cover and bottom cover together with 4 KM3 * 4 mm screws.
