and various input and output cards. The monitor wall displays and external control devices
complete the system.
Frame
The Kaleido-X (7RU) frame is 7 RU high. It incorporates an internal midplane for
interconnecting the cards. Cards are installed from the front of the frame. Each card is

These connector panels are installed from the rear of the frame, in the same horizontal
position as their associated card. The redundant power supplies are installed at the top of
the frame.
The hinged front door can be opened to give access to the cards. A removable retaining bar
across the front of the frame inside the door holds the cards securely in place.
The Kaleido-X (7RU) frame incorporates the following key elements:
• A rack-mountable mechanical framework

installed cards
• A midplane board that enables inter-card communication
• Slots for installing signal processing cards that plug into the midplane
• Mounting points for rear connector panels
