Operating Basics
This chapter provides a brief overview of the IntelliFrame Mainframe including
illustrations and descriptions of switches, indicators, and connectors.
Figure 2–1 shows the front view of the IntelliFrame Mainframe. All of the
mainframe slots are labeled on the top and bottom of the mainframe. Slot 0 is
reserved for the mainframe controller; all other slots are available for any
VXIbus modules.
IntelliGuides on the bottom of each slot automatically open when you install a
module with a front panel in the mainframe to provide cooling for the installed
modules. The guides remain closed for empty slots to direct airflow only where
it is needed.
