Connecting Terminal Bases with Panel Mounting
The terminal bases can be directly installed without using the panel

module when you are using panel mounting.

Ensure that power is not applied to the network module before you install
or remove terminal bases.
1.
Remove the protective cover from the network module’s local bus
connector (see Figure 2-5).
2.
Drill pilot holes in the panel to mount the terminal bases. A drilling
guide is provided with the network module panel mount accessory.

Attach the terminal base to the network module by firmly mating
the local bus connectors.
