VX1410 IntelliFrame Instruction Manual
The VX1410 IntelliFrame allows you to power on and power off the mainframe
from the rear panel as well as the front panel On/Standby switch. Alternately,
you can disable the front panel On/Standby switch. If you decide to bypass the
front panel On/Standby switch, you should configure the mainframe before
installing the rackmount hardware. Refer to Appendix B: Special Configuration
Options and then return to this section to continue the installation procedures.
If your mainframe has the Enhanced Monitor, you can power on the mainframe
through VXI and RS-232 commands. If you apply external power to the
Enhanced Monitor, you can you can also power off the mainframe using RS-232
commands.
The procedures for installing the rackmount kits are nearly identical for the
Option 1R and 2R kits. You can install the Option 1R kit to either recess the
mainframe from the front of the mainframe rack or to extend it out of the
mainframe rack. However, you can only install the Option 2R kit so that the
mainframe recesses into the rack.
The steps for installing the rackmount kits consist of installing the rackmount
hardware to the mainframe and then installing the mainframe in the rack.
You will need the following tools to install the rackmount options:
H
T-15 Torx Driver
H
T-20 Torx Driver
H
#2 Phillips Screw Driver
Refer to Figure 1–5 and perform the following steps to install the rackmount kit
hardware:
1. Remove the rubber feet from the mainframe.
2. Determine whether you want to install the VX1410 IntelliFrame so that it
extends out of the rack or is recessed within the rack.
If you want to extend the VX1410 IntelliFrame from the front of the rack,
position the rackmount bracket as shown on the right side of Figure 1–5. If
you want to recess the VX1410 IntelliFrame in the rack, position the
rackmount bracket as shown on the left side of Figure 1–5.
3. Determine how far you want to recess or extend the VX1410 IntelliFrame
and install the rackmount adapter as shown using two 8-32 screws (included
with the kit). Similarly, install the other bracket on the other side of the
mainframe.
