Stacking Multiple Units
If Slave units are not powered up when the Master unit
boots up, the Slave may not be detected for several
minutes. It is good practice to turn all units on simul-
taneously or turn on Slave units before turning on the
Master unit.
The available processors will appear in a “stack” in the
control panel. The Master unit details will appear at the
top, with Slave units below it appearing in the order that
they are connected with the cable connections to the
ASPEN port jacks.

Once the processors are installed, configured and com-
municating with a computer system, refer to the Help
files in the software ASPEN Control Panel program for
additional information regarding the available settings,
adjustments and control.
