Why Is the ACCESS LED Off When the Chassis Is
On?
The LEDs may not light until the module has been configured in MAX. Before proceeding,
verify that the PXIe-5163 appears in MAX.
If the ACCESS LED fails to light after you power on the chassis, a problem may exist with the
chassis power rails, a hardware module, or the LED.
Notice Apply external signals only while the PXIe-5163 is powered on. Applying
external signals while the module is powered off may cause damage.
1. Disconnect any signals from the module front panels.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Remove the module from the chassis and inspect it for damage. Do not reinstall a
damaged module.
4. Install the module in a different chassis slot from which you removed it.
5. Power on the chassis.
Note If you are using a PC with a device for PXI remote control system,
power on the chassis before powering on the computer.
6. Verify that the module appears in MAX.
7. Reset the module in MAX and perform a self-test.
What Should I Do if the PXIe-5163 Doesn't Appear in
MAX?
1. In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces .
2. Expand the Chassis tree to see the list of installed hardware, and press <F5> to refresh
the list.
