M.2 Slot Height Notes
The M Key M.2 connector height should be calculated carefully to avoid mechanism interference between
SOM-9X35 module bottom heat sink and carrier board top layer components. For example, if the 0402
components (height less than 0.5mm) are placed on the carrier board top layer (under the SOM-9X35 module),
then the M Key M.2 connector height should be ≥5mm.
