VX1410A & VX1420A IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual

Getting Started

Getting Started

This chapter provides an overview of the Tektronix IntelliFrame Mainframe family. It includes installation and configuration information on user-installed options.

Product Description

The IntelliFrame Mainframes are intelligent, 13-slot, C-size, VXIbus Mainframes. They fully comply with the VXIbus Specification 1.4 requirements and are VXIplug&play compatible. The mainframes can be configured as standard benchtop or optional rackmount instruments. The mainframes have the following features:

HHigh output power supply

HIntelligent cooling for installed modules

HSuper CoolerT (VX1420A)

HHigh quality auto-configuration backplane

HEnhanced Monitor

HFront panel display (Optional for VX1410A)

HEMI DIN shields for superior EMI protection

HOptional adjustable rackmounts and cable trays

These features are explained in more detail in the following paragraphs.

Power Supply The IntelliFrame Mainframe provides all VXIbus voltages at levels necessary for the most demanding ATE applications. The power supply has a volt-ampere capacity of 1783 VA with 875 watts usable by VXI instrument modules at any one time (refer to Appendix A: Power Budget Worksheet). The mainframe accommodates exclusively digital applications, exclusively analog applications, or combinations of both.

The power supply plugs directly into the rear of the mainframe and has no cables to disconnect. The power supply can be replaced in less than three minutes, minimizing downtime. The power supply automatically sets the ranges for the appropriate input voltage and frequency.

Getting Started

Intelligent Cooling The IntelliFrame Mainframe provides optimal cooling for all installed modules. The mainframe uses an intelligent, adaptive cooling scheme to efficiently remove heat while maintaining quiet operation. The mainframe monitors the temperature rise of the exhaust air above each module slot and automatically adjusts the fan speed to keep the temperature rise to user specified temperature rise or less for the each module. You can also manually set the fan to full speed to provide maximum cooling.

Air is exhausted at the sides of the mainframe, allowing you to stack the mainframe with other rackmount equipment. You don't have to worry about restricting airflow out of the top of the mainframe or creating a chimney effect.

Cooling is not wasted on empty slots. IntelliGuides automatically direct air to only those slots containing modules; empty slots are shut off. The mainframe directs airflow across each installed module from the bottom to the top of each slot. Baffles balance the airflow from the front to back and across occupied slots in the mainframe.

You can remove the air filter from the rear of the mainframe. The fans can be replaced without disassembling the entire mainframe.

High Cooling The VX1420A Super Cooler has all the features of the VX1410A IntelliFrame Mainframe, but with higher cooling capacity and very quiet operation. The higher cooling fan operates at a low fan speed with equivalent airflow.

Backplane The IntelliFrame Mainframe has an auto configuration, solid-state backplane that uses electronic jumpering of the IACK and BUS GRANT signal lines. There are no jumpers to move or install on the backplane. This results in a high quality backplane that is ideal for ATE systems that must be reconfigured frequently. The EMI DIN shields are standard to provide superior EMI protection.

Full differential distribution of the CLK10 signals provides a clean timing source for your VXIbus instruments.

Optional Rackmounts and You can order the IntelliFrame Mainframe with user-installed rackmounts and Cable Trays cable trays. The cable trays provide a means to conveniently route cables from the front of the modules to the rear of the mainframe. Options 1U and 2U cable

tray depths range from 1.75 to 6.0 inches. Install Option 1U to provide a 1.75-inch, 2.5-inch, or 4.25-inch deep cable tray. You can install Option 2U to provide a 3.5-inch, 4.25-inch, or 6.0-inch deep cable tray.

The rackmount adapters let you recess the mainframe from the front panel mounting surface at specified depths from 0.735 inches to 5.735 inches in 0.5-inch increments. Similarly, you can configure the mainframe to extend out of the front of the rack at specified depths (0.57 inches to 5.57 inches in 0.5-inch increments).

1±2

VX1410A & VX1420A IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual

Getting Started

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.

Enhanced Monitor 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.

Optional Front Panel The VX1410A Option 1M includes a 20-character alphanumeric display on the Display front panel with scroll keys for manual viewing for mainframe status. The

VX1420A comes standard with this option.

Options and Upgrade Kits Table 1±1 lists the IntelliFrame Mainframe options and upgrade kits that you can purchase and install separately. Contact your local Tektronix representative for information on the upgrade kits.

Getting Started

Selecting the Correct Power Cord and Fuse

The standard IntelliFrame Mainframe comes with two power cords and three fuses. Before installing the mainframe, you must determine the correct fuse and power cord for your application. Use the following information to determine the appropriate power cord and line fuse for either the VX1410A or the VX1420A mainframes. This information is important to avoid overloading the power distribution system and to comply with the National Electrical Code.

For mainframe loads in the nonshaded region of Figure 1±1, use the power cord with the 15 A plug (Tektronix part number 161-0213-XX) or the power cord with the 20 A plug (Tektronix part number 161-0218-XX). For high mainframe loads combined with low input line voltages (shaded region), use only the power cord with the 20 A plug.

Select the proper fuse based on the ranges shown in Figure 1±1.

Getting Started

Site Considerations The IntelliFrame Mainframe is designed to operate on a bench or in a rackmount environment. For proper cooling, allow at least 2 in (5.1 cm) of clearance on the rear and sides of the mainframe. Determine how you will use your mainframe with cable trays, and then follow the appropriate installation instructions. If you ordered your mainframe with a cable tray option and rackmount option, install the cable tray before installing the rackmount.

WARNING. To avoid personal injury, use care when lifting or moving the mainframe to avoid personal injury while performing the installation procedures.

Cable Tray Installation The IntelliFrame Mainframe comes a with a 0.75-inch cable access area on the bottom of the mainframe. Use the following procedure to install your cable tray option:

You will need a T-20 Torx and Phillips driver to install Options 1U or 2U.

Options 1U and 2U can be installed three different ways; without rails, with rails, or with rails installed at 90_.

Figure 1±2 on page 1±8 and Figure 1±3 on page 1±9 show how to install Option 1U (without rails, with rails, rails at 90_) to provide a cable tray depth of 1.75, 2.50, or 4.25 inches.

Figure 1±4 on page 1±10 and Figure 1±5 on page 1±11 show how to install Option 2U (without rails, with rails, rails at 90_) to provide a cable tray depth of 3.50, 4.25, or 6.00 inches.

Both options come with butch plates to mount cable connectors at the rear of the cable trays. The butch plate will not fit on Option 1U when the foot rails are not used. You can modify the butch plate to accept cable connectors at the rear of the mainframe. Specific instructions for modifying the butch plate are not given since the locations, types, and size of connectors vary with each application.
