VXI-1500 Mainframe Airflow Rear View
Install your mainframe so that you can easily access the rear panel. This
simplifies the replacement of the air filter, fan tray module, or power
supply if necessary.
Rack Mounting
Rack-mount applications require the optional rack-mount slide kit
available from National Instruments. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the rack-mount slide kit for properly installing your VXI-1500 in an
instrument rack.
Note:
You may wish to remove the rubber feet from your VXI-1500 for rack
mounting. To do so, unscrew the rubber feet counterclockwise.
