• Connect expansion adapters to the CPU module before mounting the PLC in the enclosure.
• Mount extension modules in the enclosure after mounting the CPU module in the enclosure.
• Expansion boards can be mounted on the CPU module after it is installed in the enclosure.
• Batteries can be replaced without dismounting the CPU module from the enclosure. However, if an expansion board is
used, the CPU module must be removed.
