For the VM method, the PC/104 stack is mounted to a vertical divider, CT6-VD00 or
CT8-VD00. The vertical divider with the PC/104 stack installed is then slid into the
vertical card slots in the Can-Tainer™ case. Accessory equipment, such as batteries and
transmitters, may be attached to the opposite side of the vertical divider.
