2.7.1 Planning the Mount Location
When planning the mount location for the OEM7 receiver, ensure there is enough room for the
card. There is an area around the card, called a keep-out zone, where other components in the
enclosure do not intrude. This keep-out zone is intended to prevent other components in the
enclosure from interfering with, or damaging, the OEM7 receiver. For diagrams of the exact
dimensions and keep-out zones for each OEM7 receiver card, see:

OEM7 receivers are not directional in nature and can be mounted in any orientation.
2.7.2 Board to Board Spacing
A minimum amount of space is required between the OEM7 receiver and the interface or system
board the receiver connects to. Refer to the following table for the minimum and suggested spa-
cing.
