The USC card needs up to three power supplies which are provided via the 37-pin connector of the USC card:

USC main power

USC opto-coupled outputs and inputs (Opto_Out and Opto_In)

Optionally: Opto-coupled laser-ports

By default the laser-ports are powered internally. If you want to use opto-isolated mode of the laser-ports you need to adjust JP1 and JP2 on the USC card.
