10.3.2 Mounting PCI-104 or PC/104 Plus modules
Tools
Use hexagon head screws (5 mm) to mount the spacing bolts of the PCI-104- or PC/104-
Plus module. If this is the only PCI-104 or PC/104-Plus module you wish to mount, you can
also use screws (M3) instead of the spacing bolts.
Preparation
● Isolate the device from power supply.
● Two blanking plates are mounted on the expansion frame. If the PCI-104 or PC/104-
Plus
module features external ports, you can use these blinding plates to mount the
connectors. You can also use a slot plate with existing connector perforations. You can
find required dimensions in the section Dimension drawing of the blanking plate
(Page 103).
CAUTION
The electronic components on the PCBs are highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Always take appropriate precautionary measures when handling these components.
Refer to the ESD directives on handling electrostatically sensitive components ESD
Guidelines (Page 147).
