Use the plastic keying clips shipped with each I/O chassis to key the I/O
slot to accept only a BASIC module.
The BASIC module is slotted in two places on the rear edge of the circuit
board. The position of the keys on the backplane connector must
correspond to these slots to allow insertion of the module.
Snap the keys onto the upper backplane connectors between 8 and 10 and
between 32 and 34. (Same as Series A)
