5. Mount the FP-20xx to your panel with the panel-mount accessory,
as shown in the following figure. The installation guide that came with
the panel-mount accessory includes a template that you can use to drill
pilot holes for mounting.
Connecting Terminal Bases with Panel Mounting
You can install terminal bases directly, without using the panel-mount
accessory needed to mount the FP-20xx network module. Follow these
steps to connect terminal bases to the network module using panel
mounting.
Caution
To avoid damaging the FP-20xx and the terminal bases, make sure that power
is not applied to it while you install or remove terminal bases.
1. Drill pilot holes in the panel to mount the terminal bases. A drilling
template is provided with the network module panel-mount accessory.
2. Connect the terminal base to the FP-20xx by firmly mating the local
bus connectors. Be careful not to bend any connector pins.
3. Bolt, screw, or otherwise fasten the terminal base to the panel.
Make sure that the local bus connectors remain firmly mated after
the terminal base is mounted.
