2.13 MPCI-L2 series module installation
MPCI-L2 series modules are fully compliant with the 52-pin PCI Express Full-Mini Card Type F2 form factor, i.e.,
top-side and bottom-side keep-out areas, 50.95 mm nominal length, 30 mm nominal width, and all the other
dimensions as defined by the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification [16], except for the card
thickness (which nominal value is 3.7 mm), as described in Figure 70.

MPCI-L2 series modules are fully compliant with the 52-pin PCI Express Full-Mini card edge type system connector
as defined by the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification [16]. Table 50 describes some examples
of 52-pin mating system connectors for the MPCI-L2 series PCI Express Full-Mini card modules.

It is recommended to use the two mounting holes described in Figure 70 to fix (ground) the MPCI-L2 module
to the main ground of the application board with suitable screws and fasteners.
Follow the recommendations provided by the connector manufacturer and the guidelines available in the
PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification [16] for the development of the footprint (i.e. the
copper mask) PCB layout for the mating edge system connector. The exact geometries, distances and stencil
thicknesses should be adapted to the specific production processes (e.g. soldering etc.).
Follow the recommendations provided by the connector manufacturer to properly insert and remove the
MPCI-L2 series modules.
