How to Link an E2 Unit to an EX Unit with a Mixed I/O/VPU Configuration
To add up to four Single Layers or two Mixing Layers to a system, an E2 unit can be linked to an EX unit with a
single VPU card. This adds a another VPU to the system. The VPU can be in either slot 1 or slot 2 on the EX
unit, and the other slot may be empty or contain either an Event Master Input card or an Event Master Output
card. Each E2 comes equipped with two Link cards, always located in slots 1 and 2. Link cards are identified
by a yellow stripe at the top. Each EX has two Link sockets. Make sure to use the locking mechanism and then
push each cable until it locks in place.
