	To solve this, it is always recommended to mount the board itself directly to the system using bolts, instead of using dual-lock or other adhesives on the outside of the enclosure. The holes in the bottom of the enclosure go all the way through the board so mounting is easy. Simply remove the top plate of the enclosure and bolt the board through the bottom of the enclosure to the surface, and then reattach the top plate. Make sure the bolts are tight and try to wiggle the board to see if there's still any movement. It is a good idea to use a thread locker when doing this as well to help stop the bolts from slowly backing out over time, this is especially important in systems that undergo significant vibrations.

			We recommend mounting the board in its enclosure, directly to your system using M2 bolts. Follow these steps:

			#Remove the top half of the enclosure.
			#Locate the four mounting holes.
			#Bolt the Phidget Spatial to your system.
