4. Installing Host System
One of the features of the Boss Module is the ability to install a Mac mini inside. This provides
different levels of sophistication to the ability of your device.
There are 8 screws on the underside of the case and 7 on the rear that need to be removed
there are also two pins on each side of the boss unit that will need to be removed.
Remove these using a screwdriver and slide the top of the Boss Module 4 inches, as
demonstrated in the in the graphic below.
The graphic below demonstrates how the product should look at this stage. Notice the
highlighted yellow screws, which should all have been removed at this point

With a spanner, undo the highlighted nut below. Once removed, it will allow you to slide the
lid off fully.
Once the lid is completely removed, it will reveal the inside of the product. Next, remove
the screws (highlighted in yellow) in order to remove the Mac mini chassis.
Once you have removed the Mac mini chassis place your Mac mini on the circular mat
(outsides highlighted below). You can then attach the mini Mac to the three wires on the
