MXIbus-6 : Install VXI-MXI Modules into Mainframes
Use the following steps to install the VXI-MXI Modules into the
mainframes. Install VXI-MXI modules in mainframes 2 and 3 into slot 0 of
the mainframe. Install VXI-MXI module in mainframe 1 into the slot next
to the slot 0 device unless the VXI-MXI module needs to be the slot 0
device (when EPC7 or EISA/ISA to MXIbus is used). See Figure 3-23 on
the next page.
NOTE If you have an EPC7 embedded computer or an external computer with an
EISA/ISA to MXIbus interface card, the VXI-MXI module in mainframe 1
needs to be installed in slot 0 (and configured as a slot 0 device).
1. Turn off mainframe power by pressing the button in the bottom left
corner of the mainframe.
2. If the modules will be installed into a D-Size mainframe, install a
support designed for installing C-Size cards in D-Size mainframes.
3. Insert the module into the mainframe by aligning the top and
bottom of the card with the card guides inside the mainframe.
Slowly push the module straight into the slot until it seats in the
backplane receptacles. The front panel of the module should be
even with the front panel of the mainframe.
4. Tighten the retaining screws on the top and bottom edges of the
front panel.
