Table 9.2 16-Slot chassis power supply specifications with battery backup
"The sum of the currents on +12V, +15V, +12 MEM, and 0.55 times the
sum of the currents on +5 MEM and -5 MEM must NOT exceed 12.5
INTERCONNECTION WITH SYSTEM
The 16-slot power supply board communicates with the
rest of the system via jacks 17 and 35 to the backpanel.
Tables 9.3 through 9.5 list each signal either generated or
received by the power supply board together with the jack
locations of the signal. See the 16-slot Backpanel Schematic,
DGC No. 001-001563, for the locations of signals on the
backpanel.
