Default 192 full analog interface

I've read in the manual that the 8 analog inputs (slot 1), 8 analog outputs (slot 2) and the 8 digital I/O (slot 3) are hardwired on the 192 interface whereas only the 4th slot is available for the optional cards (analog A/D or D/A or digital I/O).
I was wondering whether it's possible to take the digital I/O (slot 3) card out and install an optional analog A/D and an analog D/A on slot 4?

No.

The digital card does not need to be installed, but then it is a standalone box. Only slot 4 can accept anything.

This was fixed with Avid HD interface boxes.

I got a great deal on a 192 Analog on eBay for like $75 because the cards were in the wrong slots and it wasn’t working properly. When I got it I rearranged the cards to the proper slots and all was right with the world.

Hi JFreak. I'm having the same problem with an older 192 interface.
Is slot 3 the 2nd (right) top slot? And slot 4 below that?

I'm moving cards around now.

Thanks.

Thank you!

And bay 3 can be empty?
Or do I need a digital card in that slot for the interface to work?

I'm confused by JFreak's comment about it becoming a standalone box.

"Standalone" is used incorrectly here. You always need an HDX/TDM card in use and the chassis has digital connections too.

I have an interface set up like below and it works fine.
I know that there is a PSU limitation as JFreak mentioned.

Could it be that the ribbon cables were switched around on that side?

bay 1 = analog input bay 3 = analog input

bay 2 = analog output bay 4 = digital i/o
