Mount the network module with the panel mount accessory. The
installation guide that came with the panel mount accessory includes a

Connecting Terminal Bases with Panel Mounting
The terminal bases can be directly installed without using the panel mount
accessory that is needed for mounting the FP-1000/1001 network module.
Follow these steps to connect terminal bases to a network module when you
are using panel mounting.
Note
Ensure that power is not applied to the network module before you install or remove
terminal bases.
1.
Remove the protective cover from the network module’s local bus
connector (see Figure 2-5).
2.
Drill pilot holes in the panel to mount the terminal bases. A drilling
guide is provided with the network module panel mount accessory.
3.
Attach the terminal base to the network module by firmly mating the
local bus connectors.
4.
Bolt, screw, or otherwise fasten the terminal base to the panel. Ensure
that the local bus connectors remain firmly mated after the terminal
base is mounted.
