The 1 or 2-channel configuration is a single channel system (a second
channel can be added with license) consisting of the 5-slot M9505A AXIe
Chassis and an M8041A module. The M8041A occupies three slots. A
maximum of two M8020A modules can be installed in a 5-slot chassis.

The four channel configuration consists of the 5-slot M9505A AXIe
Chassis, an M8041A module, and an M8051A module. The M8041A
occupies three slots and the M8051A occupies two slots.
This configuration requires a cable (provided with the M8051A) that
connects the M8041A SYNC OUT to the M8051A SYNC IN to synchronize
the two modules to a common system clock.
