Assembling a Processor Adapter and I/O Base
Overview A Processor Adapter can be snapped directly onto a Momentum I/O base, making
connections at three points:
lThe plastic snap extensions on the two sides of the M1 unit fit into the two slots
on the sides of the I/O base
lThe 12-pin connectors on the two units mate together
The components can be snapped together by hand – no assembly tools are
required.
This section contains safety precautions for handling co mpo ne nt s an d a procedure
for assembling a Processor Adapter and an I/O base.

CAUTION
ADAPTER MAY BE DAMAGED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY
Use proper ESD procedures when handling the adapter, and do not touch the internal
elements. The adapter’s electrical elements are sensitive to static electricity.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in equipment damage.
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY MAY BE EXPOSED
Electrical circuitry on the I/O base may be exposed when a Momentum adapter is not
mounted. Be sure that the I/O base is not under power when it does not have an adapter
mounted on it. To be sure that power is not present, do not insert the wiring connectors to
the I/O base until after the adapter has been mounted.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage and will
void the product warranty.
