What:

Develop bounding box models for every item in the stack. These models will just be black boxes which have the same outer most dimensions of each item in the stack. The models should also have the appropriate PC104 hole pattern. I recommend making a template PC104 board and then make a part configuration for each stack item that is extruded to the respective height. For the purposes of this task just make this template board and one configuration for one stack item. I will review your work and we can make adjustments before it is applied to every stack item. Use this document as a reference for what boards should be modeled and their respective dimensions:

I have a very rough CAD started and I suggest you check out what I did for an EPS bounding box model for reference. My work was super rushed so I expect that you would use your own best judgment in how to achieve this in solidworks to a higher standard. I have shared the CAD drive with you and the latest version of the CAD is found here:

Why:

The first step in establishing the stack layout is visualizing how everything will fit. We will start with a very low resolution stack (black box models) and then gradually implement higher resolution models (cad from manufacturers or in-house cad) to refine the layout.
