VXi Computer Hardware VX1410A Manuel D’Utilisation

VX1410A & VX1420A IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual

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

The IntelliFrame Mainframes are intelligent, 13-slot, C-size, VXIbus Main-
frames. 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:

H High output power supply

H Intelligent cooling for installed modules

H Super Cooler

T

 (VX1420A)

H High quality auto-configuration backplane

H Enhanced Monitor

H Front panel display (Optional for VX1410A)

H EMI DIN shields for superior EMI protection

H Optional adjustable rackmounts and cable trays

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

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.
