Keyed cutouts in the housing’s rear wall (see Figure 2-2 through Figure
2-7) permit wall or panel mounting. The base housing has the following
components:
 Built-in guides on the top and bottom of the housing permit easy
installation and removal of modules
 Built-in ground lug (on right bottom corner of housing)
 Printed circuit board (PCB) attached to interior back of housing
provide seating and electrical interface for modules
 Built-in interface connector (available only on 4-slot and 8-slot
housings) for expansion housings.
Composed of aluminum (plated with gold irridite), the base housing has
three configurations (3-slot, 4-slot, or 8-slot backplane). Optional I/O
expansion housings (also gold irridite-plated aluminum) accommodate
additional I/O modules in three configurations (2-slot, 4-slot, or 8-slot
backplanes), and can be either wall- or panel-mounted or rack mounted
with a DIN-rail. Refer to Figure 2-2 through Figure 2-7 for dimensional
drawings of the three base housings and three expansion housings.
