WARNING All instruments within the VXI mainframe are grounded through the mainframe chassis. During installation, tighten the instruments’ retaining screws to secure the instrument to the mainframe and to make the ground connection.
Installing A- and B-size Instruments
A- and B-size instruments can also be installed in the mainframe. These instruments are installed using a module carrier:
•HP E1403C A/B-size Module Carrier extends the P1 connector on the VXIbus backplane and mounts the (A/B-size) modules flush with C-size modules. This carrier is recommended for Hewlett-Packard B-size, slave-only devices which have the P1 connector.
•HP E1407A A/B Module Carrier extends the P1and P2 connectors on the VXIbus backplane. This carrier is recommended for B-size,slave-only devices which have the P1/P2 connectors.
Figure 2-9 shows the installation of A- and B-size instruments.
