![CAD model of the stack. The red area in the CAD model is a keep-out zone for tall components and connectors. The keep-out zone is 20mm high. Think about where you will store excess cable length needed to make connections.](https://400583030-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIUx8F0dEX9C01W3iSbva%2Fuploads%2FqUiAwo1Vs0l5VfRTBYqK%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c5a2b2de-f0cb-40cc-8470-751d9c6685f8)
