VX1411A IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual
Installation
This section describes the procedures to install your mainframe. It includes
procedures for installing the mainframe with the rackmount or cable tray options.
This section does not include specific procedures for installing modules in the
mainframe. Refer to your module documentation for information regarding the
module installation instructions.
The VX1411A IntelliFrame Mainframe is designed to operate on a bench or in a
rackmount environment. For proper cooling, allow at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of
clearance on the rear and sides of the mainframe. Determine how you will use
your VX1411A IntelliFrame Mainframe and follow the appropriate installation
instructions. If you ordered your mainframe with the cable tray option and one of
the rackmount options, install the cable tray before installing the rackmount.
WARNING. To avoid personal injury, use care when lifting or moving the
mainframe to avoid personal injury while performing the installation proce-
dures.

Figure 1–1 on page 1–7 and Figure 1–2 on page 1–8 show how to install
Option 1U (without rails, with rails, rails at 90
_
) to provide a cable tray depth of
1.75, 2.50, or 4.25 inches.
Figure 1–3 on page 1–9 and Figure 1–4 on page 1–10 show how to install
Option 2U (without rails, with rails, rails at 90
_
) to provide a cable tray depth of
3.50, 4.25, or 6.00 inches.
Both options come with butch plates to mount cable connectors at the rear of the
cable trays. The butch plate will not fit on Option 1U when the foot rails are not
used. You can modify the butch plate to accept cable connectors at the rear of the
mainframe. Specific instructions for modifying the butch plate are not given
since the locations, types, and size of connectors vary with each application.
