[4] Number of BitScope CAP (USB connected) per Blade (depending on power requirements)
[5] Camera slots to enable the connection of visible or IR cameras.
[6] HDMI and Audio ports on the Raspberry Pi in Slot 1 are accessible for connection.
[7] Primary power for connected Raspberry Pi and HAT devices.
[8] Auxilliary power for devices connected via 3-pin power headers (e.g. Raspberry Pi Display)
[9] Additional USB (power only) ports for connected peripherals (e.g. Raspberry Pi Display)
[10] LEDs to indicate BAY reset and interrupt inputs.
[11] Each slot may be individually powered up/down via this header (normally powered up).
[12] The device in each slot may be individually reset or interrupted via this header.
[13] Access to each Raspberry Pi GPIO, SPI, I2C and Serial signals.
[14] The blade may be powered via the mounting tabs, eliminates power wiring when rack mounted.
[15] Blades supplied with wall mounting stand-offs with adhesive feet.
[16] Blades can be rack mounted to create cluster computing solutions with optional metalwork.
[17] Peak and continous current available at 5V across all slots and connected peripheral devices.
[18] Blocking diode enables use with UPS and battery backup power solutions.
[19] DC 2.1mm power socket compatible with low cost passive PoE solutions.
