Perhaps someone could clarify, the manuals are less

this. What kind of slot can the RLV12 be placed in? Does it need a
Q22/Q22, Q22/CD, does it not matter, or are there jumpers to
accommodate either?
Doesn't matter. Generally, anything that works in a Q/Q slot will work
in a Q/CD slot just fine, unless you have made some other error (like
putting it in place of 1/2 of a 2-board set that expects to have a
different board following/preceding it, though the only connections on
the 2nd set of fingers are probably grant continuity jumpers on the
RLV12, so you'll only end up breaking the stuff you installed
wrongly :).
QBUS is much more forgiving (and simple) than all the variants of slots
possible on a UNIBUS-attached backplane.
