These slots are engageable to printed circuit cards inserted through the front opening. The chassis also includes first and second power supplies. The first power supply is electrically coupled to a first set of instrument receiving slots, and the second power supply is electrically coupled to a second set of the instrument receiving slots. Thus a first set of the printed circuit cards may maintain electrical and mechanical separation and isolation from a second set of the printed circuit cards.
