To connect more than three SCANport devices in a single rack, add
additional SLC to SCANport modules to your SLC rack system.
You can use your SLC to SCANport module in a 4, 7, 10, or 13 slot
SLC rack or a 2–slot expansion rack available for the fixed I/O
configurations of SLC–500 processors.
Important: An SLC rack using this module needs an enclosure of at
least 200 mm (8 in) in depth. You cannot place an SLC
rack using the SLC to SCANport module in a 150 mm
(6 in) deep enclosure.
