This chapter describes the installation environment, installation
procedures, cabling the equipment, and instructions on powering-
on/off the PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit.
2.1 Installation Environment
Whenever unpacking and preparing to install any equipment
described in this manual, please refer to the
Important Safety
Instructions chapter of this manual.
Only install equipment in well lit areas on flat, sturdy surfaces with
access to basic tools such as flat and cross head screwdrivers.
The PCI Express-to-PXI Extension Kit contains several electro-
static sensitive components that can be easily damaged by static
electricity. For this reason, the cards and chassis should be han-
dled on a grounded anti-static mat and the operator should wear
an anti-static wristband during the unpacking and installation pro-
cedure.
Please also inspect the components for apparent damage.
Improper shipping and handling may cause damage to the compo-
nents. Be sure there is no shipping and handling damage on the
components before continuing.
