Wall or Cabinet Mounting

The ThinkCore W315/325/345 embedded computers have built-in “ears” for attaching the embedded computers to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per ear to attach the W315/325/345 to a wall or cabinet. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown by the figure at the right.
