Notes on the modules
Notes on module specifications
The device is designed for use with modules to PCI specifications 2.3 or 1.0a. The module
supports operation of 5 V and 3.3 V PCI modules. Compliance with the defined mechanical
defaults is imperative. Failure to comply with these defaults can result in contact problems,
malfunctions and assembly difficulties. The permissible module contour dimensions are
specified in the dimension drawings section.
Note about long PCI, PCIe modules
Long PCI / PCIe modules must be fitted with an extender for insertion into the guide rails
(should be supplied with the long PCI PCIe board.)
Note on PCI-Express x16 modules
The modules in the PCIe x16 slot should not occupy more than one slot.
Note on PROFINET expansion modules
The "CP 1616 onboard" option must be disabled in the BIOS for devices with CP 1616
onboard, before a PROFINET module (such as a CP 1616) can be installed in the system.
