The 2U frame has 4 single board slots, the 3U frame has 6 single board slots, the 4U
frame has 8 slots, and the 5U frame has 10 slots. Each slot supports power and control
connections to the I/O boards. When a board is installed into a slot it may use more than one
slot. For example, the SMX 1616 VGA board uses four slots. The slots that a board covers
are not available for other I/O board installation until that multi-slot board has been removed
(see Installing the I/O Boards on page 10 for details).
NOTE: To customize the SMX unit, use the SMX Configurator program, available at
www.extron.com, or contact Extron Customer Support (see rear outer cover
for contact numbers).
