Step 4: Install the Module
Step 4: Install the Module
PXI hardware does not support "hot-swap" (changing modules while power is applied to the chassis)
capabilities. Before installing or removing a module to/from the chassis, power off the chassis to pre-
vent damage to the module.
This module can be used in a chassis with cPCI(J1), PXI-1, or PXIe hybrid slots.
Recommended Practices for Temperature Control
l
Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module slots to assure proper operating temperatures.
l
At ambient temperatures above 45° C (113° F) set the chassis fan to High.
l
The use of an Agilent M9018A Chassis and slot blockers optimizes module temperature performance.
Module Installation Procedure
The module can be installed in any standard PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot com-
patibility image (a circle containing the slot number).
The module can also be installed in any hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot com-
patibility image (the letter “H” and a solid circle containing the slot number).
1. Make sure that the line cord is plugged in to establish earth ground and that the chassis power switch is Off .
2. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fan switch is set to
AUTO
.
3. Position the chassis to provide ample space between the chassis fan intake and exhaust vents. Blockage by
walls or obstructions affects the air flow needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for more
information about cooling).
4. Before inserting the module into the chassis, back the mounting screws out to ensure that there is no inter-
ference between the screws and the mounting rails.
5. Holding the module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into an available PXI (or hybrid) slot, as shown in
the figure below.
