Back Panel Connectors

Blind-mate connectors make it easy to install this module. The push-on connector on
the back of the module mates with the back plane bus connector inside the chassis.
This 55-pin connector and the two RF connectors provide the following facilities.
RF signal connections

Electrical power input connection

Alarm communications connections

The ESD guide pin near the bottom of the back panel serves as both a guide pin and
an ESD ground connection. The length of the pin ensures that ground is the first
electrical connection made as the module is inserted, and the last connection to be
broken as the module is removed.
