Multi-Modular I/O System
I/O Card Cover Plates
Metal cover plates ship with the F6 Modular I/O Frame covering the I/O expansion card slots. To remove a cover
plate, use a #1 Phillips screw driver or 3/16-inch hex nut driver. Retain the cover plates and screws for future use.
See page 11 for additional information about installing I/O cards in the F6.

: Keep the cover plates on when I/O cards are not installed to protect the F6 backplane area.
I/O Card Label Area
Each I/O card used with the F6 Modular I/O Frame contains an area that can be used for channel labelling.
Permanent custom-made labels can be created and affixed to the area using 2- or 3-ply laminated engraving
stocks (sometimes branded as “Lamicoid”). The engraved labels can be secured with stick-on adhesive or with
screws using the built-in threaded mounts

: When adding custom-made labels to an I/O card be sure to measure correctly so that the finished labels
do not interfere with the operation of the XLR I/O connector’s lock tabs.
The area available for affixing engraved laminated labels measures 4.2 x 0.5 in. (106.68 x 12.7 mm).
The label area also includes threaded connectors that can be used to secure patch bay style label strips or
engraved multi-ply plastic laminate labels. The threaded inserts are PEM FEOX-440 which accept a #4 machine
screw with 40 threads per inch. Maximum screw length is 0.25 inch.
The diagram that follows can be used as a guide when creating custom labels for the I/O cards. The area shown in
red is the suggested maximum size for a laminate label; note that clearance must be allowed for the tabs on the
mic input XLR jacks to operate freely.
