16 pin IDC connector on Konstant Lab HammerPWR?

Hi all!
I have just installed HammerPWR into my case (Nono Lander Two, just in case you were wondering ;-). All is fine so far, but I have stumbled over this question, that I cannot seem to find an answer to:
On the HammerPWR board there are the two sets of Wago connectors which lead to the bus boards, so far so good. The manual recommends to evenly load these two sets, also clear. Where does the 16-pin IDC connector fit in, though; is it somehow limited or does it draw power from one of the sides? Or does it have any other features?
Thanks Ron

Hi together,
I got a very nice and fast and concise answer from Martin at Konstant Lab, perfect service, very happy!

I hope it is ok to put this here to close the thread:
(...) This connector is placed on the PCB mainly so that the HammerPWR can also be used for quick connection to the system without the need to connect busboards via WAGO terminals, or for a quick test of a module, at the same time we use this connector to test the HammerPWR during output control.
With the 16-pin IDC connector, there is a small 3-pin jumper that can be used to switch whether the +12V voltage from section "A" or section "B" will go to the output of the IDC connector (...)

Cheers, Ron
