Installing PMC Modules
2.2 Installing PMC Modules
The M5000 is shipped with two PMC filler panels mounted in the front panel. They act as EMC
shielding in unused PMC positions. Before installing a PMC module, the filler panel(s) must be
removed. This is done by pushing them out from the backside of the front panel.
Four screws must be used to secure each PMC on the M5000 board.
Mounting of PMC modules #1 and #2 on the M52xx board:
1. Place the M5000 board on a smooth static protected work surface.
2. Install PMC module #2 in the upper PMC position
3. Install PMC module #1 in the lower PMC position
4. Secure PMC modules with screws on the bottom side of the M5000 board
Note – If you have purchased an M55xx board (base board with PMC Carrier) please see
“Installing PMC Modules onto the PMC Carrier” on page 52 for instructions on how to
disassemble the PMC Carrier board in order to install PMC boards.
Warning! Be extremely careful when inserting screws to secure PMC modules.
Touching component leads, or the printed circuit board itself, with a screwdriver may
cause permanent damage to the board
