www.vxitech.com SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The CT-100B portable C-size VXIbus mainframe provides cost-effective test situations in a small footprint. When using VMIP instruments such as DMMs, waveform generators, digitizers, etc., complete test scenarios can easily be configured.
VXI Technology, Inc. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CT-100B chassis is a portable, C-size, six-slot, VXIbus compatible chassis that conforms fully to VXIbus Specification Revision 1.4. The chassis employs a multi-layer backplane to ensure premium VXIbus and VMEbus performance and provides all power supplies required by the VXIbus specification. The CT-100B supports conventional existing rack designs through an optional rack mounting kit (see Section 2).
www.vxitech.com FLEXIBILITY The CT-100B is designed to provide flexibility of use in bench-top and rack-mount applications, as well as in portable environments. The outside cover is removable for easy access to the VXIbus modules during bench-top development, troubleshooting or calibration. For rack-mount applications, a rack-mount kit allows the CT-100B to mount flush or be recessed four inches.

COOLING SPECIFICATIONS COOLING REQUIREMENTS (TBD) 60 W/slot for a 10°C Rise 80 W/slot for a 15°C Rise AIR FLOW PATH Air is drawn into the chassis from the rear and is pressurized below the cards. The air is then distributed across all slots along the total length of each slot and is exhausted through the top of the mainframe. When the mainframe is rack mounted, allow approximately 2 inches (50 mm) of clearance at the top and rear for proper airflow. Pressure Drop - mm H2O 2.5 2.0 1.

www.vxitech.com RACK MOUNT OPTION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW This section contains the procedures for installing a CT-100B chassis in a standard 19” relay rack. The available rack mounting options are: Option 52 – Rack Mount Ear Kit Option 53 – Rack Mount Door Kit Option 57 – 20” Slide Kit Option 58 – 24” Slide Kit The rack mount ear kit provides the basic hardware necessary to rack mount the CT-100B chassis.
VXI Technology, Inc. RACK MOUNT KIT INSTALLATION The rack mount kit (Option 59) provides the basic hardware necessary to rack mount the CT-100B chassis. With the chassis being only 15” wide, standard rack support rails cannot provide mechanical support to the chassis. If the equipment mounted below the CT-100B cannot provide mechanical support to the chassis, either 20” or 24” rack slides will be required to support the chassis when installed into the rack.

VXI Technology, Inc. RACK SLIDE INSTALLATION (20” AND 24”) The 20” and 24” slide hardware kits (Options 63 and 64, respectively) provide standard flanges to mount the slides into standard EIA relay racks. It should be noted that the slide flanges in the front should be installed behind the rack’s front panel mounting rails. This will allow the rack mounting ears to sit flush with the front of the rack.
www.vxitech.com 5. Locate the slide hardware kit provided. Install the rack flanges to the slides as required by the application using the hardware in the kit. Note that the screws are inserted from the inside of the slides and the nuts would show on the outside. 6. Install the slides to the mounting brackets already installed on the chassis using the provided hardware.
VXI Technology, Inc. RACK MOUNT DOOR KIT INSTALLATION The rack mount door kit (Option 60) provides the necessary hardware to install a 1/8” thick aluminum door in front of the rack mounted chassis. This option requires that the rack mount ear kit also be installed and configured for recessed mounting. The door may be customer modified to hold connectors, controls, indicators and similar components. REQUIRED TOOLS 1. 2. 3.

VXI Technology, Inc. ACRYLIC RACK MOUNT DOOR KIT INSTALLATION An acrylic rack mount door is offered as an alternative to the aluminum rack mount door. The kit (Option 65) provides the necessary hardware to install a 1/8” thick acrylic door in front of the rack mounted chassis. An installation diagram is provided on the following page for ease of assembly. This option requires that the rack mount ear kit also be installed and configured for recessed mounting. REQUIRED TOOLS 1. 2. 3.
www.vxitech.com 6. Locate the four tapped holes on the front surface of the rack mount ear to which the door is to be attached. 7. Install the door by its hinges to the rack mount ear using four 3/8” black pan head screws provided with the option kit. 8. Test that the door opens and closes smoothly and adjust the latch as necessary to secure the door when latched close.
