Enclosure Configurations - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Enclosure Configurations

Enclosure Configurations
Each Modula enclosure holds up to 16 boards with 4 connectors each. The ratio of input and output
boards depends on the model. Some models are available in configurations up to 32x32 in increments of
four. Flex-slot models allow configurations that are either input or output heavy. All Modula enclosures
can be added to in the field if not completely full when initially ordered.
32x32 Enclosures
Flex-Slot Enclosures
The flex-slot models have three designated slots that can be used for either input or output boards. For
example, an enclosure configured as 4x60 can be reconfigured to 16x48 by replacing the first three
output boards with input boards.*
