FAQ
Q1: Is the 57C331A chassis still actively manufactured?
A: No, it is a legacy component. Maintenance units are typically sourced via specialized surplus vendors or service providers.
Q2: How does the chassis get power?
A: It receives regulated DC power from a separate AutoMax Power Supply Module (e.g., 57C432), which connects to the designated slot or backplane bus.
Q3: What is the primary role of the backplane?
A: The backplane electrically connects the CPU to all other modules, facilitating ultra-fast, synchronized data, address, and control signal transfer.
Q4: Can the 16 slots be used in any order?
A: The CPU must occupy a designated slot (usually the far left). Other slots are generally interchangeable for I/O and specialty modules, subject to system configuration rules.
