About the 960L
The 960L system consists of two components: a rack-
mounted Mainframe designed for remote mounting in
machine rooms or elsewhere, and a dedicated
controller, the LARC2.
Unpacking the 960L
The 960L system is shipped in two cartons, one
containing the 960L mainframe, the other containing
the LARC 2 dedicated controller. After unpacking, save
all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the
unit. Thoroughly inspect the 960L system and packing
materials for signs of damage. Report any shipment
damage to the carrier at once. The following

The 960L mainframe’s rear panel holds four I/O cards,
together with power connections, the mains power
switch, mains voltage selector switch and option plates.
The I/O cards can be removed for service and/or
upgrades without removing the chassis from the rack.
The proper ordering (top to bottom) of the cards is I/O
Clock Card, I/O Option Plate, AES I/O Card, Analog In
Card and Analog Out Card. Cards should be kept in
this order.
