Matrix: Can I install an AES-3 option module on a V-Series Desktop panel?
The AES-3 options module can be successfully installed on 1RU, 2RU and Desktop versions of V-Series panels.
The AES-3 module cannot be fitted to early versions of the V-Series panels and the panel should be checked for compatibility before attempting to fit the AES-3 module.
Panel Compatibility
To check whether a panel can be fitted with an AES-3 module the rear of the panel should be checked. Panels that can be fitted with an AES-3 card have an additional “AES” box in the conformity label on the left of the panel rear. The drawing below shows the label markings for "AES" compatibility.
Picture below shows a Desktop V-Series panel with the AES-3 option successfully installed.
