6.2 Installing the M.2 Module
Introduction to the M.2 Module
Siemens uses the M.2 Module to extend the Siemens IPC. It can be produced by Siemens or
other third-party suppliers. Our device provides one or several M.2 Key B interfaces and
mounting positions. M.2 key B modules (or Key B+M) can be connected to the interfaces slot
X100 or X101 on the motherboard.
The position of each slot is marked in the following image.
Siemens IPCs provide the standardized openings in the housing to extend the devices with
additional external interfaces.
The M.2 Module can go to the housing opening through a cable or with an additional
interface-card. The connection to the IPC-housing for additional interfaces going outside is
done with an "adapter plate" that fits to the standardized openings in the IPC-housings. The
adapter plate is part of a complete M.2 Module solution. The IPC products are delivered with
a closed adapter plate/COM interface to cover the opening on IPC housing.
The following image shows the dimension requirements of the closed adapter plate.
Installation of the M.2 Module in our device should not exceed the specified maximum
outline or the maximum allowed power dissipation. The following table contains the detailed
features and functions of the M.2 Module:
