The Rainbow 100 Technical Manual (page 3-30) has the following table:

Table 3-11 Power Supply Connector (J8) Signals
Pin Signal Mnemonic Description
1 AC Voltage Okay ACOKH This signal indicates the presence or absence of
valid ac power entering the power supply. When valid ac power is present,
this signal will be high. When the ac power is lower than the required
minimum input voltage, this signal will be low.
2 Voltage Bias VBIAS This signal is connected to the communications control
register via a jumper on the system module. The jumper is installed only
for manufacturing testing.
3 None This pin is missing to provide a key for the cable connector.
4 -12 V -12 V input
5,6 +12 V + 12 V input
7,8,9 +5 V +5 V input
10, II, 12, 13 Ground GND DC power return and signal ground

Page 1-10 gives the following regulated values:

+5.1 V ±6% over the current range of 2.5 A to 11.5A
+12.1 V ±6% over the current range of 0.6 A to 6.7A
-12 V ± 7% over the current range of 0.0 A to 0.15 A

~130W power draw max.
