(1) Configuration and locations of circuit boards

The configuration of circuit boards in DZ-MV580E/MV550E and their locations are very similar to those in the base models DZ-MV380E/MV350E, except for whether the FAF circuit board is provided or not.

The DZ-MV380E/MV350E had the FAF circuit board between the FRT and AEL circuit boards: The DZ-MV580E/MV550E does not have this, since the FRT-H/FRT circuit board is directly connected to AEL-H/AEL circuit board.
