2.2.1 Multinode Module Node Configurations
Because of the limited board space, the boards used to construct various nodes must
contain only certain boards and be configured as shown in Table 2-1.
Power must be removed from the module whenever you are removing or installing any board,
including an I/O paddleboard. Be sure that an I/O paddleboard is installed in the correct slot;
some boards have only one slot that they can be installed in without causing damage. I/O
paddleboards plugged into the wrong slot can cause traces on the backplane to burn open.
In the following table, slot numbers are identified by a-b-c. Remember, in the Multinode
Module 3/3/2/2 arrangement, slots are grouped by node, therefore, a given node may
occupy slots 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8, or 9-10 to match slots a-b-c, or only a-b.

Notes:
(1) A TP485 I/O card is located in Slot 1 and 9 of the modules in the Micro TDC 3000.
(2) The TP485 in Slot 9 provides the interface to the twisted pair, short distance
(≤10 meters) TPLCN.
(3) The EPDG board set should be slots 3 and 6 with slots 2 and 5 empty.
(4) Standard AM is 4 Mw; optional is 8 Mw.
(5) Standard US is 4 Mw or 6Mw. 6MW is required for Universal Personality.
