MX-FR Series Modular Matrix Frames – User's Manual

Applied CPU2 firmware: v3.5.7b8 | LDC software: v2.5.17b2
MX-FR65R Limitations
The MX-FR65R matrix frame is physically identical to the MX-FR80R.
The only difference is a limitation on the number of allowed I/O boards.
While the MX-FR80R can work with 10 input and 10 output boards, the
MX-FR65R allows only 8.
The frame has 10 physical board slots, but will not boot up when more
than 8 input or output boards are inserted. Only the number of the
boards is limited, thus they can be used in any of the physical slots.
However, to gain exclusive access to the Test input and Preview output
ports on the MX-CPU2, it is recommended to leave the last slot empty.
For example, if the input slot #1 is empty, there can be 8 input boards
in slots #2 to #9 and the slot #10 left empty. In this case the 65 input
ports can be accessed with port numbers 9-72 and 80.
