Yes. Your system was called a SYS-3. The SYS-3A came out in 2004-2005. The SYS-3A has all the controls and connections on the aluminum front panel, internally hung fan, rubber feet, single 8 conductor servo power cable, etc. A servo reset switch was added. It kills the 5vdc power to the driver logic and forces a reset without also cycling the controller. This only works with the 2nd generation servo drivers (blue leds). It will let the smoke out of the first gen servos(yellow leds).
