Is the element14 Desktop enclosure compatible with GPIO add-on cards?

jdb2

Hello. I've been thinking of getting an Element14 Raspberry Pi Desktop enclosure for my RPi 3, but, I need to know if the enclosure is compatible with the UPS-Pico GPIO add-on board ( UPS PIco HV3.0A Stack Plus with 450mAh Battery  ). I've called Newark/element14 tech support, but the support rep didn't have a definitive answer as even he couldn't find any dimensions for the Desktop enclosure.

 

Any help regarding this topic or how to possibly get around the space constraints, if possible, would be greatly appreciated.

 

EDIT : Stupid oversight on my part -- I missed the dimensions of the Desktop enclosure in its manual. The manual indicates a thickness of the Desktop enclosure's add-on card at about 1.4mm, which makes me think I'm getting the dimensions mixed up -- please correct me if I'm wrong. I couldn't find any dimensions for the aforementioned RPi HAT, but it's at most 50mm tall which only gives me about 41.72 mm of room, assuming my calculations are correct. So,it may or may not fit...

 

Thanks,

Is the 4th actually used internally to connect to the mSATA?

The Newark/e14 description SAID mSATA was through GPIO. Sorry
