Introduction

The rackmount adapter kit is an option for the VXI-1000 mainframe. This manual discusses how

to assemble and install the kit and mount the mainframe. Illustrations are included to guide you

through the installation steps.

The kit adapts the VXI-1000 for mounting in a standard 19-inch wide rack. The depth between

the front and rear vertical rails can be no less than 22 inches and no more than 28 inches. The

VXI-1000 can be mounted flush with the front of the rack, or recessed up to three inches.

Warning: The equipment rack must either be bolted to the floor or include extension feet. An

unsecured rack is unsafe if the mainframe rackmounting assembly is extended on its

tracks.

Mounting Requirements

The rackmounted equipment configuration must meet the following requirements for rackmount

installation:

• A clear mounting space at least 7 inches high and 23 inches deep in a standard 19-inch

equipment rack.

• At least 2 inches clearance between the sides of mainframe and the sides of the rack for air

circulation.

Note: You may need to remove the VXI-1000's top and bottom covers to prevent interference

with equipment mounted directly above or below the VXI-1000.

Tools Required

You will need the following tools to assemble the rackmount adapter kit:

• No. 1 Phillips screwdriver

• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

• Small pointed tool, such as a scribe or punch

Mounting Bracket, Chassis Section, and Front Panel

Installation

Refer to Figures 1, 2, and 3 for the following instructions.

Step 1. Remove the Carrying Handle

With the mainframe in the upright or "tower" position, pull up on the instrument carrying handle

to expose the small holes on each handle mount. Carefully push a scribe or punch into one of the

holes while pulling the handle toward the center. This releases the handle retaining spring. Once

the spring is released, remove the scribe and continue to pull the handle until it disengages from

the handle mount. Repeat this procedure for the other handle mount, then store the handle for

future use.

Step 2. Remove the Top and Bottom Covers

Detach the top and bottom covers by removing the 14 pan head screws that secure each cover to

the mainframe. If you want to mount the VXI-1000 within a 7-inch high (4U) space directly

above or below other pieces of equipment, store the covers and screws for future use, and

proceed to step 3. Otherwise, remove the eight rubber feet from the covers and re-install the

covers on the mainframe. Store the feet and mounting hardware for future use.

Step 3. Install the Adjustable Mounting Bracket Assemblies

Place one of the adjustable mounting bracket assemblies on the right side of the mainframe. Use

four of the 8-32 pan head screws to secure the bracket. Repeat this procedure to secure the other

bracket assembly to the left side.

Step 4. Install the Chassis Track Section

Remove the chassis track sections from the shipping carton. Notice that there are right and left

sections. Properly orient and mount the right chassis section to the adjustable mounting bracket,

using four of the 10-32 x 5/16 inch pan head screws. Repeat this procedure to install the left

chassis section.

Step 5. Adjust the Mounting Bracket for Recessed Mounting

The adjustable mounting bracket is shipped from the factory in the flush mount position. For

recessed mounting, loosen the eight pan head screws on each bracket and extend the brackets as

required (see Figure 2). Be sure to retighten the screws.

Step 6. Install the Front Cover Panel (Recessed Mount Only)

The cover panel gives a finished appearance and protects instrument modules and cabling. To

accommodate the front panel installation, the mainframe must be recessed (see step 5) with

adequate clearance between the cover panel and the instrument cables. The front panel attaches

to the adjustable bracket assemblies with two L brackets, as shown in Figure 3. Secure each L

bracket to bracket assemblies using two 8-32 pan head screws. Secure the front cover to the L

brackets with 1/4 turn fasteners.

Track Installation

Refer to Figures 4, 5, and 6 for the following instructions.

1. Measure the distance between the front and rear rails (depth between the front and rear

vertical rails can be no less than 22 inches and no more than 28 inches).

2. Attach a rear mounting bracket to each stationary track section. Use two 10-32 x 3/8 inch

pan head screws and one bar nut for each assembly. Choose an alignment to match the rail

spacing. Do not fully tighten the screws. The front rail mounting method is shown in Figure

5. Figures 6a and 6b illustrate the rear rail mounting methods for deep and shallow racks,

respectively.

3. Install the stationary track assemblies into the rack. Use four 10-32 x 3/8 inch pan head

screws to secure each track assembly to the rack rails. Use bar nuts if the rack rail holes are

not threaded. Tighten the rack rail screws enough to secure the stationary track assemblies to

the rack while still allowing movement. Fully tighten the screws that attach the rear

mounting brackets to the stationary sections.

4. Slide the intermediate track sections into the stationary tracks so they lock in their extended

positions.

5. Carefully lift the mainframe into place so the chassis track sections align with the

intermediate track sections. Slide the chassis tracks into the intermediate tracks and push the

mainframe halfway into the rack. It will stop at the first detent.

6. The sliding track sections should align themselves as the mainframe is pushed into the rack.

Tighten all loose screws.

If the tracks do not operate smoothly, loosen the screws that secure the stationary track sections

to the front and rear rails. Center the mainframe assembly, allowing the tracks to seek their

proper position, then retighten the screws.

The tracks require no lubrication because of their special finish.
