IO Cards
Rear Panel Expansion Slots
Up to eight hot-pluggable IO cards can be fitted to the expansion slots at the rear of the unit.
In the ruby standard configuration, slot 1 is always fitted with a STUDIO IO card and slot 2 with a MIC/LINE
card. Additional STUDIO IO and MIC/LINE cards are not permitted. Slots 3 to 8 can be freely configured with
any combination of LINE IN, LINE OUT and AES3 IO. These cards are optional and must be ordered
separately using the part numbers in the table below.
The permitted IO card options are as follows.
