Wait until you get ALL the components, then benchtest BEFORE installing the board in the case. If you already mounted it in the case, take it out & wait til your other parts come in.

When removing from the case look at the case standoffs to verify they are placed under every screwhole in the MBoard and ONLY under the screwholes.
