Load Distribution Card Schematic


3511 Chassis (photos by an unknown ebay seller)

The 3511 is based on the 8595 1S1P chassis.

The I/O opening and 5 of the 8 MCA slots are blocked from the outside by a plastic cover. Slot #1 holds an external SCSI connector.

The planar is replaced by a small Load Distribution Card that connects to the PSU planar connector, provides a dummy load for the +5 V rail, and a connection to the Op Panel.
