a) power connections to the VIS chassis, the RF Amp, and the cooling fans
b) remote switching on/off of all power via connection to J8/J9
c) a digital voltmeter to monitor the +28V power supply output.
d) In previous versions of the DPS4D the power interface served also as a battery interface and provid-
