-Looking into the mainframe from the front panel, "A" pins are left and "B" are right of the connector centerline, and pins are numbered from 1 at the bottom to 38 on the top. A pins are on the [[:File:Tek-7a17-left-board.jpg|plug-in PCB's component side]], B pins on the [[:File:Tek-7a17-right-board.jpg|solder side]].  In the following table, (H) indicates signals available in horizontal slots only, (H-A) is horizontal slot A, (H-B) is horizontal slot B, and (V) denotes signals available in vertical slots only.
