Step
Action
1
Choose a clean environment to assemble the Option Adapter and processor to 
protect the circuitry from contamination.
2
Align the two plastic snap extensions on the sides of the M1 Processor Adapter 
with the slots on the sides of the Option Adapter. 
The 12-pin connectors and processor extension connectors will automatically 
line up when the units are in this position. The two devices should be oriented 
so that their communication ports are facing out on the back side of the 
assembly.
CAUTION
PIN ALIGNMENT
Proper assembly requires that the 34 pins on the processor extension 
connector be aligned correctly with the mating socket on the M1 processor 
adapter. Do not connect one side and try to rotate the M1 onto the option 
adapter.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in equipment damage.
3
Push the Processor Adapter onto the Option Adapter, gently pressing the 
locking tabs inward.
Result: The locking tabs on each side of the Processor Adapter slide inside 
the Option Adapter and out through the locking slot. The 12-pin and 34-pin 
connectors on the two units are mated to each other in the process.
