2.6.1 Planning the Mount Location
When planning the mount location for the OEM7 receiver, ensure there is enough room for the
card. There is an area around the card, called a keep-out zone, where other components in the
enclosure can not intrude. This keep-out zone is intended to prevent other components in the
enclosure from interfering with, or damaging, the OEM7 receiver. For diagrams of the exact
dimensions and keep-out zones for each OEM7 receiver card, see:
