Installation
The Octopus Net mini ITX board is delivered pre-assembled on the mini ITX base frame. To mount the
base plate in a suitable mini ITX enclosure, the Octopus Net board must be dismantled with 3 screws
to access the hidden fourth fastening point. Once the board has been removed, the base plate can be
properly mounted in the enclosure using the enclosed screws at the 4 fastening points (black
arrows). Finally, the Octopus Net board is mounted back onto the base plate (green arrows).

The DuoFlex Twin-Tuner is installed as follows. The slot cover is removed from the Twin-Tuner by
loosening the two screws and is no longer needed. The two screws, on the other hand, are used to fix
the Twin-Tuner to the mounting bridge (green arrows). These fastening steps must be repeated for
each Twin Tuner.
The two black arrows mark the position of the enclosed fastening screws for the fastening bridge to
the base frames. The power supply for the DuoFlex modules or the Max S8/SX8/A8(i)/M4 card is
provided directly from the mainboard to the respective extension. The ribbon cables still required for
the extension and included with the respective extension. Special lengths of data cable can be
ordered as optional accessories.
