Hello, I need some help in identifying the expansion board in my Nord Rack I.
I have had this unit for many years, and was not used by me till recently. I thought that it was just then 4 voice version, then a recent peek inside seemed to suggest that when bought years ago the previous owner had had the expansion board installed. I have attempted to upload to images that may be of use in identifying the board. I hope that they can be opened up by any one wanting to help.
I have no way of knowing whether the board installed is the 8 voice expansion board or something else.

I nearly bought a 8 voice expansion board on Ebay but, held back, so I am hoping that that this might prove to have been a good thing, should the rack already have one installed.

If you can help that would be really appreciated.

What you are showing looks to me like an empty expansion slot to set an expansion cartridge in - with the electrical contacts under the bridge. But I don't have any idea of the Lead Rack.

As FZiegler are writing above, it seems like the slot for a PMCIA card, and I think this is original built into the synth.
I seem to remeber folks have been asked for those cards in here in older threads, best bet might be Ebay or Reverb.

You can see about the slot in the user manual, page 24.
