The IntelliFrame
R
mainframe provides you the ability to generate a backplane
SYSReset signal from the front panel. This feature allows you to reset the
complete VXI system without having to power down the mainframe. A
SYSReset activation is accomplished by pushing the right side (nonlighted side)
of the On/Standby power switch.
NOTE . If you decide to configure the front panel SYSReset, you should configure
the mainframe before installing the rackmount hardware. Refer to Appendix B:
Special Configuration Options for activation of this feature and then return to
this section to continue the installation procedures.
The procedures for installing the rackmount kits are similar 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 door for 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. Determine whether you want to install the VX1411A IntelliFrame Main-
frame so that it extends out of the rack or is recessed within the rack.
If you want to extend the VX1411A IntelliFrame Mainframe 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 VX1411A IntelliFrame Mainframe in
the rack, position the rackmount bracket as shown on the left side of
Figure 1–5.
2. Determine how far you want to recess or extend the VX1411A IntelliFrame
Mainframe 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.
