Backplate:
The openings in the removable back-plate for the pluggable terminal blocks, dc power connector and
DB-9 serial port connector are shown in the drawing below. Cut the odd shape of the serial port
connector by cutting two 3/8 in. holes and then trimming with a sharp hobby knife to an oblong shape.
Mount the serial port connector with 4-40 hex jackscrew hardware (supplied with optional enclosure).
Rear of enclosure with removable back-plate, viewed from outside; NOT full size. Dimensions shown are
approximate and should be verified before cutting holes

Keyboard:
The enclosure top section has two built-in molded standoffs for the keyboard just below the display
window on the inside. These line up with the two outer holes in the keyboard PCB and provide sufficient
support for most applications. If additional support is needed, use a spacer (not supplied) at the middle
hole in the keyboard.
