You can stack a maximum of four PC/104-Plusmodules, shown

in the diagram below. Note that if you have PC/104 modules in

 

 

your computer, they must be placed at the top of the stack.

In addition, you must set the rotary switch of each PC/104-Plusmodule to a unique setting in the stack. Setting the rotary switch dedicates a group of PCI signals to the module in the stack: clock, request grant, ID select, and interrupt signals. It is recommended that the first module installed (the module closest to the Host CPU board) be configured to 0, the second 1, and so on. The table below shows the recommended switch setting for each module, as well as the dedicated signals.
