You can install the rackmount kits along with the cable trays to provide vertical
cable access to easily route cables to instruments above or below the mainframe
while keeping lead lengths as short as possible.
You can also install an optional Lexan door with the rackmount kit.
NOTE. If you choose to extend the mainframe out of the front of the rack, the
mainframe cannot accept a door.
Instructions for installing the cable trays begin on page 1–7; instructions for
installing the rackmounts kits begin on page 1–12.
The IntelliFrame Mainframe enhanced monitor lets you monitor the power
supply voltages, power supply currents, slot temperature rises, fan speeds, and
other VXIbus system activity via the VXIbus or a rear RS-232 interface.
The VX1410A Option 1M includes a 20-character alphanumeric display on the
front panel with scroll keys for manual viewing for mainframe status. The
VX1420A comes standard with this option.
Table 1–1 lists the IntelliFrame Mainframe options and upgrade kits that you can
