Installing the

Digitizer in a

Mainframe

The E1563A or E1564A Digitizer can be installed in any slot (except slot 0) in a C-size VXIbus mainframe. See Figure 1-5 for the procedure to install the Digitizer in a mainframe.

1Set the extraction levers out.

2Slide the E1563/E1564 into any slot (except slot 0) until the backplane

connectors touch.

Levers

3 Seat the digitizer into the mainframe by pushing in the extraction levers.

4Tighten the top and bottom screws to secure the digitizer module

to the mainframe.

NOTE: The extraction levers will not seat the backplane connectors on older VXIbus mainframes. You must manually seat the connectors by pushing in the module until the module's front panel is flush with the front of the mainframe. The extraction levers may be used to guide or remove the digitizer.

To remove the digitizer from the mainframe, reverse the procedure.
