The fixation alternate of the CFast™ card is a small L-shape mounting block (similar picture below).
The threaded mounting element is fastened by a metric screw (M2x4) from the bottom side of the
PCB.
There is some ambiguity about the top and bottom side of a CFast™ module - be sure to insert the
card properly into the socket. For several CFast™ SSD card brands this would require the module to be
inserted with its label facing downwards (to the PCB). However, leading suppliers (e.g. Swissbit)
attach the label vice versa on their cards, which requires that such CFast™ modules have to be
inserted with their label on top. Anyway, the finger grip, which is recessed into the cards end, should
be up. Forced wrong insertion may cause permanent damage to the CFast™ card and the CFast™ host
connector.
