Description

These modules are PCBs intended to be inserted in a card cage. There is an extraction handle attached to the front of the card, on which a paper label containing the model number, serial number, and other information is printed.

Four holes are provided toward the bottom of the extraction end of the card for installing cable clamps.

Opposite the handle there are 47 bifurcated gold-plated contacts arranged in two rows. This board constitutes a bread board with predrilled and numbered holes for inserting components. The circuit side has a pattern of traces which connect groups of the holes in various ways to allow circuits to be constructed by adding jumpers and components from one trace pattern to another. Components, mostly resistors, and jumpers have been added to the board, as well as two unoccupied black plastic cable clamps.

The card has various quality control stamps on one side of the PCB.
