The stacking is supported by spacers and screws. Figure 2-15 shows an LCD board stacked on top of a MCU board. Figure 2-16 shows an LCD board stacked on the bottom side of a MCU board. Note that the MCU board has been flipped up-side down in this drawing. Both of these mounting configurations requires four long spacers (M2.5, 20mm, female/male), four short spacers (M2.5, 7.5mm, female/female), and four screws (M2.5, 5mm).
