How to connect the CTR-1475 with other PC/104 & PC/104-Plus
devices: the stack assembly
The ISA and PCI bus connectors of the module are designed to allow it to be connected with other PC/104
and/or PC/104-Plus devices, we recommend users to follow this procedure to ensure that stacked modules are
not damaged.
Warning:
Appropriate ESD (Electro Static Discharge) precautions should be used for the following
procedure.
1. Turn off the power to the PC/104 (or PC/104-Plus) system or stack.
2. Select and install standoffs as required to correctly position the module on the PC/104 stack.
3. Remove the module from its anti-static bag.
4. Check that keying pins in the bus connector are correctly positioned.
5. Check the stacking order; make sure an XT bus card will not be placed between two AT bus cards or it
will interrupt the AT bus signals.
6. Hold the module by its edges and orient it so that the bus connector pins line up with the matching
connector on the stack.
7. Press the module evenly onto the PC/104 stack.
Figure 4 shows a typical module stack with two PC/104 modules, one PC/104 16-BIT module, and one PC/104
8-BIT module.
The maximum number of modules is four in addition to the Host Board.

Warning:
Do not force the module onto the stack! Wiggling the module or applying too much pressure may
damage it. If the module does not readily press into place, remove it, check for bent pins or out-of-
place keying pins, and try again.

J1 and J2: the ISA Bus
Connectors J1 and J2 carry the signals for the ISA Bus. The ISA Bus is only used to convey signals to/from
boards above or below the CTR-1475. No physical connections are made to the CTR-1475 circuitry.
These signals match the definitions of the IEEE P996 standard.

According to the PC/104 specifications, these connectors include KEY pins; these are filled holes in the female
side and missing pins on the male side of a connector, to avoid the wrong insertion in/of another module.
