5.2.1.2 Double row connectors
This connector is a double row connector and can be used if both J2 and J3 are needed.
This connector has a height of 3.0mm and this has to be considered if components are to be
mounted on the motherboard under the OEM Serial Port Adapter board. The connector is al-
so available with a height of 6.0mm and 10.0mm (The FSI-120 serie from Samtec).
There are alignment pins on the bottom side of the connector.
The connector is available with M2 threaded inserts that fit the mounting holes on the board
(see section 5.1.2). You may screw the OEM Serial Port Adapter board directly into these in-
serts. If you want to have a tighter and more secure mounting you may use longer screws
and secure it using a nut on the backside of the motherboard.
Another way to mount the module is to use press-fit nuts on the motherboard and skip the
M2 threads on the connector, see section 5.3 for more information about press-fit nuts.

and could be smaller if press-fit nuts are not used (see section 5.1.2).
