VXI-1000 Rackmount Adapter Kit Installation Guide
Step 2. Remove the Top and Bottom Covers
Detach the top and bottom covers by removing the 14 pan head screws that secure each cover to
the mainframe. If you want to mount the VXI-1000 within a 7-inch high (4U) space directly
above or below other pieces of equipment, store the covers and screws for future use, and
proceed to step 3. Otherwise, remove the eight rubber feet from the covers and re-install the
covers on the mainframe. Store the feet and mounting hardware for future use.

Step 3. Install the Adjustable Mounting Bracket Assemblies
Place one of the adjustable mounting bracket assemblies on the right side of the mainframe. Use
four of the 8-32 pan head screws to secure the bracket. Repeat this procedure to secure the other
bracket assembly to the left side.
