For larger cus- tom configurations see “Disassembling Custom S6 Configurations” on page 15 The following diagrams do not show cable harnesses, Rear Cover brackets, Side Covers, or the Producers Desk option. If your system includes a Producers Desk, it counts as two chassis when determining system width.
