NOTE
The M9405A can be used in a chassis with a PXIe or PXI-H chassis peripheral slot.
The M9405A can also be installed in any hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot
compatibility image (the letter "H" and a solid circle containing the slot number).
CAUTION
PXI hardware does not support “hot-swap” capabilities (changing modules while power is
applied to the chassis).
Before installing a module into the chassis, the chassis must be powered off to prevent
damage to the module.
1. Ensure that the PXI chassis power switch is in the off (Standby) position.
2. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fans are set to automatic. Do not set the
fan speed to low or turn it off.
3. Position the chassis so that there is 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. Holding the module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into the card edges on the guide slot (top and
bottom) as shown in
Figure 3
.
a. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis and ensure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed
down in the unlatched (downward) position.
b. Slide the module completely into the chassis. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the
injector/ejector handle to fully insert the module into the chassis.
