needed, however only the backplane connector in the right side slot connects to the
module’s rear panel electrical connector.
The front panel also incorporates controls and indicators for managing the inserted
modules. These include: status LED indicators, an emission button, a security and
interlock key switch, and an AC mains switch. To connect a management PC (with
CONTROL), a USB port is located on the upper right panel of the control section.

System slots
At the back of each slot, mounted on the system backplane, a female 30 pin C/3
connector connects to each module’s electrical connector. When a module is pushed
into the slot, the connectors are aligned by a hole in the rear panel of the module
which slides over an alignment pin projecting out from the backplane.
Note: BOOSTIK modules occupy two slots, but only connect to the C/3 connector of
the right slot.
