Connecting the Accessory Boards
The multiplexer is designed so that it can be mounted above or to the side of the M5e
module. Either way, it is best to connect the modules to each other side by side, and then,
if desired, rotate one module above the other. Refer to the section that explains how the
boards are installed for detailed information.
The multiplexer is connected to the module as shown below. (The contacts on the ribbon
cable are facing down). This same connection method can be used for the power/
interface board except in the side-by-side configuration it will face component side down
As noted previously, if the multiplexer is stacked on top of the module, it will be upside
down with respect to the module.
A full stack, of an M5e, 2 multiplexers, a power board and heat sink, will stack as shown
below in the
