All bays are low-power. It has a swivelling carrying handle.


The '''TM503B''' also allows the power supply/backplane part to be removed from the case so that modules to be repaired on the bench without using extenders (see link below).  It also has openings for the [[TM5000]] GPIB feature, but not the connectors nor the power good signal for TM5000 plugins.
