-	*If you are attaching a serial header pin, you may want to consider:
-	**Using the header pin unit with a 90 degree bend, or you won't be able to close the case
-	**soldering it with the pins toward the interior, rather than toward the case. This allows easier access, since if it is turned to the outside, the pins are so close to the side of the metal that access is so tight that one might end up taking the board out to get plug fitted on the pins.
