Two Baseplate Sizes

Series 90-30 baseplates come in two sizes: 5-slot and 10-slot. Be aware that the Power Supply slot
is not numbered, and is not considered to be one of the 5 or 10 slots. A 5-slot baseplate has slots
for a Power Supply and five other modules, and a 10-slot baseplate has slots for a Power Supply
and ten other modules.
