INSTALLATION OF VXI MODULES
OVERVIEW
After the successful installation of rackmount accessories, the chassis is ready for installation of the VXIbus base units (i.e. an SMP1100, SMP1200, etc.). It is recommended that the instruments be installed after rackmount accessories have been installed to avoid any unnecessary physical strains that may be incurred during the installation of the accessories. Whether single- or double- wide, the process of installation is simple.
