 This modification allows Interface to communicate with the BlackBox V2.4, V2.5 and V.26 boards via AUX1.   It does change one behavior of the BlackBox - it is no longer powered over USB - so the 24v power will need to be connected and turned on whenever you want to work with the BlackBox. As you need 24v connected and switched on for the stepper motors and other accessories as well, it will not be a noticeable difference to most users.
-=== c) Insert the TVS Module onto the ICSP header ===
+=== c) Replace the Top Panel ===
-Included with your Interface, you will find a "TVS Module"

-The BlackBox has a 6 pin header labelled ICSP.  It is important that you install this module onto the ICSP header.
-Line up the "ICSP" label on both to be on the same side. The arrow points toward the Power input side of the BlackBox

-=== d) Replace the Top Panel ===
 Make sure the Fan is plugged in - then place the top panel with fan back onto the BlackBox and reattach using the 4 screws you removed in step (a) above
