VX1410A & VX1420A IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual
The IntelliFrame Mainframe allows you to power on and power off the main-
frame from the rear panel (passive monitor connector) as well as the front panel
On/Standby switch. Alternatively, you can disable the front panel On/Standby
switch.
NOTE. If you decide to bypass the front panel On/Standby switch, you should
configure the mainframe before installing the rackmount hardware. Refer to
Appendix B: Special Configuration Options and then return to this section to
continue the installation procedures.
The Enhanced Monitor allows you to power off the mainframe through VXI and
RS-232 commands. If you apply external power to the Enhanced Monitor, you
can you can also power on and off the mainframe using RS-232 commands.
NOTE. Disconnecting the power cord provides the mainframe’s voltage discon-
nect. Even when powered off by the On/Standby switch, the power supply circuits
are connected to primary power.
IntelliFrame 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 to 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 Option 1R kit to either recess the mainframe inside
the rack or to protrude in front of the rack. However, you can only install the
door for the Option 2R kit so that the mainframe is recessed inside 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
Remote On/Standby
Configuration
Front Panel SYSReset
Activation
