VXIpc-486 Model 500 Series
One Moveable
Bracket Used
Figure F-6. First Board 8.2 in. Long or Less
While you can physically install a board that is between 8.2 in. and 13.4 in. long into the
VXIpc-486, the back end will not be supported inside the VXIpc-486 (see Figure F-7). This
may not be an issue in some applications, but if the application requires rugged handling, it may
be inadvisable to install the board without a support.
No Moveable
Brackets Used
Figure F-7. First Board between 8.2 in. and 13.4 in. Long
After installing the first board, you can install the second board above it. If the second board is
less than or equal to 8.2 in. long, you can use the second moveable bracket to support it. Figures
F-8 and F-9 show configurations that require the use of both brackets.
