1264C User Manual
Installing VXI
Modules
Install C-size VXI modules directly into the C-size slots (6) of the
mainframe by first placing the module’s card edges into the front
module guides (top then bottom). Slide the module to the rear of
the mainframe until the module connectors mate solidly with the
backplane connectors. Secure the module’s front panel to the
mainframe using the module’s front panel mounting screws.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible damages do NOT hot-plug install VXI
modules (i.e., install with power on).
Installation and
Removal of Card
Guide Covers
In order to improve cooling of used slots in the VXI mainframe, a
limited number of the optional card guide covers, P/N 456271, may
be installed at empty C-size slot locations to redirect otherwise
wasted airflow.
CAUTION:
To maintain a balanced airflow throughout the system when
using card guide covers, do not cover more than three empty
slots at any time. If module density is low, space airflow
covers evenly across the mainframe.
