The DS3-12E supports a 1:1 protection scheme, meaning it can operate as the protect card for one other
DS3-12E card.
The DS3N-12E can operate as the protect card in a 1:N (N <= 5) DS3 protection group. It has additional
circuitry not present on the basic DS3-12E card that allows it to protect up to five working DS3-12E
cards. The basic DS3-12E card can only function as the protect card for one other DS3-12E card.
