A Power Supply module must be plugged into the left slot (which is not numbered) of these
baseplates. The left slot is a unique size and type that only supports a Power Supply module.
A CPU module (or a special Option module) must be installed in Slot 1 of these baseplates.
Slot 1 is a unique size and type that only supports a CPU module or a special Option module
like the FIP Remote I/O Scanner (IC693BEM330). Slot 1 is labeled CPU/1.
Slots numbered 2 and above are of a unique size and type that only supports I/O or Option
modules.
Expansion and Remote baseplates are supported, so a 25-pin D-type female expansion
connector is located at the right end of the baseplate for connecting to an Expansion or Remote
baseplate.
Since the CPU is modular, it can be replaced or changed to a different type if additional
features are desired.
Only one CPU baseplate is allowed per system. If more than one baseplate is used in a system,
the additional ones must be either Expansion or Remote types.
A modular CPU baseplate is always assigned, by default, Rack Number 0.
