The
controller
card with its attached control panel is seen
on the left. The card itself is installed in a horizontal slot
near the top. See
Using the Densité Frame Control Panel
on page 48 for more information about using the control
panel. A power supply is located below the controller card
in the frame.
Center Four card slots are laid out horizontally, two across by two down. One or two output
cards occupy slots 3 and 4, on the right, and an input card occupies slots 1 and 2, on
the left. (The input card itself is inserted in slot 2, at the bottom.) All dual-head models
have their output card in the top slot on the right (slot 3). In the case of the dual-head
model with 24 inputs, an additional input card occupies the bottom slot on the right
(slot 4). For example, the center area of a system with one input card and one output
card appears as follows:

cards.

cards; do not insert any other cards. At the time of
writing, only the GPI-1501 card is supported.
