NOTES:
Input/Output Boards
The I/O boards on any unit may vary with each installation, depending on desired
configuration and use. All board types have the input and the output connectors clearly
marked, and each board has a 16-position rotary switcher (see m,
I/O plane address. An LED on the board indicates when power is present.
NOTE:
Figure 2
shows some, but not all, board variations that can be installed into an SMX frame.
Boards have different combinations of input and output connectors, depending on the
specific board installed. To install any board into an SMX frame slot (see
