Appendix CVXI-MXI Component Placement
This appendix contains instructions on opening the VXI-MXI module, and removing and
reinstalling the optional INTX daughter card. This appendix also contains parts locator diagrams
of the VXI-MXI and the INTX daughter card.

Removing the Metal Enclosure from the VXI-MXI

The VXI-MXI is housed in a metal enclosure to improve EMC performance and to provide easy
handling. Because the enclosure includes cut-outs to facilitate changes to switch and jumper
settings, it should not be necessary to remove it under normal circumstances.
Should you find it necessary to open the enclosure, follow these steps.
1. Remove the three screws on the top, three screws on the bottom, and three screws on the
right side panel of the enclosure.
2. Remove the right side panel to reveal the VXI-MXI circuit card.
Figure C-1 is a parts locator diagram of the VXI-MXI module, showing the factory default
configuration settings. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on how to configure the board to suit
the needs of your VXIbus system.
