Remove mounting screws (4) from Common Processor 

board (sold separately). The screws are shipped 

installed in jack-screws. If existing SOM module is 

already mounted, use Allen wrench (supplied with 

SOM) to eject SOM module by inserting the wrench 

into each jack-screw and turning counter-clockwise at 

each location until SOM module is loose.

Install the SOM module on the Common Processor 

Board. Ensure it is oriented such that all connectors 

are aligned. Press firmly on the edges to ensure 

the connectors mate (may have to apply significant 

pressure). 

Before installing new SOM, make sure all jack-screws 

are tight by inserting the wrench and turning clockwise 

at each location.

Install mounting screws (4x) in each corner of the 

SOM. Tighten each screw to ensure all connectors 

are fully mated. Don’t over-tighten.
