Raspberry Pi Compute Modules are **system-on-module (SoM)** variants of the flagship Raspberry Pi single-board computers (SBC). They're designed for industrial and commercial applications, such as digital signage, thin clients, and process automation. Many developers and system designers choose Compute Modules over flagship Raspberry Pi models for their compact design, flexibility, and support for on-board eMMC storage.

Raspberry Pi Compute Modules are available in several variants, differing in memory and embedded Multi-Media Card (eMMC) flash storage capacity (soldered onto the board). Like SD cards, eMMC provides persistent storage with low power consumption. Unlike SD cards, eMMC behaves like an internal disk and includes built-in features that improve reliability. **Lite** models have no on-board storage, and are sometimes referred to with the suffix **Lite**, for example, "CM5Lite".

. *Connect the U.FL connector.* Connect the U.FL connector on the antenna cable to the U.FL-compatible connector on your Compute Module, next to the top-left mounting hole of your CM5. Do this before attaching a cooler (if using one) because the cooler can make it harder to attach the U.FL connector.
355
354
. *Insert the SMA connector.* Remove the rubber plug from the antenna port on the inside of the CM5IO Case. Then, from the inside of the case, push the SMA connector with the (flat side up) into the antenna port so that it extends through and is accessible from the outside.
356
355
. *Fasten the SMA connector into place.* Twist the retaining hexagonal nut and washer onto the SMA connector in a clockwise direction until it sits securely in place. Avoid excessive twisting when tightening to prevent damage.
357
356
. *Attach the SMA connector to the antenna.* Insert the SMA connector into the antenna port with the antenna facing outward and twist the antenna clockwise to secure it.
358
357
. *Adjust the antenna.* Move the antenna into its final position by turning it up to a 90 degree angle.
