Configuration
After installing the mainframe you are ready to configure it for your applications.
If you have not already done so, install your VXIbus modules in the mainframe
following the installation guidelines for your VXIbus module.
NOTE
. If some VXI modules do not install fully into the mainframe, it may be
necessary to remove the shutter and spring from the card guide. For some
double-wide modules it may be convenient to remove only one of the shutters
instead of disassembling the shutter. To remove the card guides refer a qualified
service person to Procedure 4: Removing the Card Guides beginning on page
6–9 in the Maintenance chapter.
The VX1411 Mainframe is UL listed to UL 3111-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2
No. 1010.1 and is IEC 1010-1 compliant. You should use VXIbus modules with
the mainframe that are listed or designed to limit electric shock and fire.
H
Investigate the possibility of fire hazards due to the availability of power
from the mainframe exceeding 150 W per slot. Use similar considerations
for VXIbus Modules that externally receive power greater than 150 W per
slot.
H
Printed wiring boards should be flame rated UL 94V–1 or better.
H
To prevent possible electrical shock, limit the voltage to the mainframe
interface or chassis to less than 60 VDC, 30 V
RMS
, or 42.4 V

.
H
Ensure that high voltage measuring inputs provide a means of limiting
unintended voltages that may reach the mainframe interface or chassis to less
than 60 VDC, 30 V
