HARDWARE ASSEMBLY
The EPM-15 uses pass-through PC/104 and PC/104-Plus connectors so that expansion modules
can be added to the top or bottom of the stack. PC/104 (ISA) modules must not be positioned
between the EPM-15 and any PC/104-Plus (PCI) modules on the stack.
The entire assembly can sit on a table top or be secured to a base plate. When bolting the unit
down, make sure to secure all four standoffs to the mounting surface to prevent circuit board
flexing. Standoffs are secured to the top circuit board using four pan head screws. See page 13 for
dim
ensional details. Standoffs and screws are available as part number VL-HDW-101.
An extractor tool is available (part number VL-HDW-201) to separate the PC/104 modules from
the stack. Use caution when using the extractor tool not to damage any board components.
