Hmm. Where to get one?

That's a pitty, I hoped that it was a black plastic frame like the ones
used in the tall Dec cabinets.

There are no handles on the board. On one side is scribed 'DRA'
but I don't know if that means anything.
Other details of the board: there are 6 ribbon connectors,
a lock, and a pushbutton in the middle. There are also 6 very small
lightbulbs on the board

What is the function of this board anyway?
