Rail signals 
The figure below shows the signals normally present on a pair of 
chassis rails. 
Note: The panel controller and the power supply monitor module 
must be installed in order to measure the voltages indicated.

The DC voltages can be checked with a digital meter. Data 
signals on pins 7 and 8 of the top rail can be verified by looking 
at the Receive (RX) and Transmit (TX) LEDs on any module 
installed on the rail. 
3-PPS/M Primary Power Supply module 
The transmit (TX) and receive (RX) LEDs on the Primary Power 
Supply Monitor Module should flicker, indicating normal two 
way communication activity with the CPU.
