Option 1: Session – The session loads completely and its saved inventory replaces whatever is now in the
inventory. If a device is present in the inventory but inactive (turned off, disconnected, defective, or not present) the
device icon will be gray. The session's routing does not change, but the I/O channels are unavailable.
When a missing device is reassigned, the session will load completely. Routing to or from unavailable devices is not
possible in any window.
Option 2: Current – The saved session loads into the existing I/O inventory. The saved inventory is replaced with a
new one that reflects the current device inventory. SuperRack searches each device slot for an assigned device that
will match the needs of the session. The device in the slot needn't be precisely what the session requests, but it
must have sufficient I/O channels.
Inventory is catalogued by slot, so an appropriate device must be found in the same slot as the session calls for. The
original session's patches for the I/O in a specific slot will be patched depending on the current channel count. For
example:
• The session calls for a DiGiGrid IOX device in slot 1, and another in slot 2 (12 I/O channels each).
• The current inventory has DiGiGrid MGBs in slots 1 and 2 (up to 128 I/O channels each).
• When you load the session into this inventory, all the patches will be intact. The first 12 I/O channels from
each MGB DiGiGrid interface will be patched, but the remaining channels are unused.

IOS-1 is in the inventory but is not available.
Patching to IOS-1 is not possible. This
"illegal" patch area is shaded light gray.
A patch to an unavailable device is red. The
patch will become valid when the
appropriate device is made available.
Valid patches are blue.
