About Custom Module Configurations
You can customize the arrangement of modules in many different ways. After you have assembled the system you will use the
Touchscreen (see Figure 2) to tell the system where you have installed which modules, choosing arrangements as available in the
Settings > Surface > Config screens. Use this information to determine your module layout before proceeding with the system as-
sembly.
M40 and M10 Plus systems also support Display Modules, which can be installed above channel sections (but not above Master
or Automation Modules).
The Producers Desk option consists of two chassis (Small or Large) that include a special Inlay panel that spans both chassis. The
inlay provides space for you to position computer displays and a keyboard. You can also add a Fader Module (or other) to either
or both chassis of the Producers Desk. If your system includes a Producers Desk option, decide whether you want to install it at the
far left end, far right end, or between other chassis in the frame.
For now, decide where you want your fader strips to be in relation to the master section modules, and where you want the Producers
Desk (if your system includes one), then proceed to Part II, “Frames.”

The location of the Producers Desk in the frame, as well as the presence of any Fader Modules in the Producers Desk, affects
placement of the Ethernet switch(es) and PSUs. For guidelines and examples, see “If Your System Includes a Producers Desk”
