The power distribution interface (PDI) is mounted to the back of the expansion bay. The
PDI contains slots for up to eight 4”x 5” slave cards. Since the PDI carries power and data
across the entire bay, it solves most interconnection issues, especially between
4”x 5” cards.

Use the following instructions and the figure below to mount 4”x 5” slave cards to the
expansion cabinet.

1. Screw two standoffs and washers to the appropriate holes in the back of the

cabinet. These holes must line up with the screw holes in the 4”x 5” card. See
Figure 2-9.

2. Plug the 4”x 5” card into the appropriate blind mating connector. Seat the card

firmly onto the PDI when installing to ensure complete insertion of the power
connector into the PDI.

3. Secure the other end of the card to the standoffs with two 6/32” x ¼” torx screws

and washers.
