If the D-Link is used for the 2015 season, it will use the entire 5V 2A rail on a single VRM, so if your team also uses a 5V axis camera, 5V co-processor like a beaglebone, or any other 5V circuit that requires more than 500mA, you will want to run that off of a second VRM.
In looking at the spec for the VRM on the Vexpro site, the VRM has the following:
(2) 5V output; 500mA limit
(2) 5V output; 2A limit
(2) 12V output; 500mA limit
(2) 12V output; 2A limit

So, the D-link will take one 5V 2A output, leaving 3 other 5V outputs available.
