## Required Tools

- 3/16” Allen wrench

## Required Parts

- 2x DT Stellar
- 8x Atom Gemini Mounting Screws
- DT Atom\*
- 2x Atom Pins

:::hint{type="warning"}
\*DT Atoms manufactured prior to 2020 use a larger pin format compatible with the DT Photon (Mark I); contact DT about new pins and pin receivers that are compatible with the DT Stellar.
:::

## Steps

::::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Remove the 4 Atom/Gemini Mount 10-32 ⅜” socket head cap screws from each Stellar unit.
:::

:::::WorkflowBlockItem
A DT Atom Pin has two detents for aligning the angle of a DT Stellar when mounted to a DT Atom. Because there are two detents, each DT Stellar can be used on either side of a DT Atom. Position the detents so they are towards the back of each Stellar. Replace the four Atom/Gemini Mount screws.

:::hint{type="info"}
For Atom units made in 2024 and after, a channel inside the arms of the Atom is included to house power and ethernet cables. On older DT Atoms, cables should be routed along the back of the arm and secured with Velcro straps.
