Hardware Installation
Before beginning with the hardware installation you have to ensure
that your system is switched off and disconnected from the mains
supply.
Please refer also to the user manual of your PXI/ PCI system for
additional installation instructions that possibly have to be followed.
Electro Static Discharge (ESD) can harm your system and destroy
electronic components. This can lead to irreparable damage on both
the controller board and the system hosting the board as well as to
unexpected malfunction of your test system.
Therefore do not touch the board surface or any connector pins and
electronic components.
The
PCI™
,
CompactPCI™
or
PXI™
system is to be opened according
to its conditions. A free slot is to be selected in your system. Now, the
slot cover is to be taken away from the slot selected. To do this,
unscrew the fixation screw(s) and remove the cover from the slot.
(If it is necessary to exchange transceiver modules,
pay attention to the general rules to avoid electro static discharging,
see the warning above.
Transceiver modules must never be removed or mounted with the
power switched on! Additionally, the right alignment is absolutely
required.)
Insert the board carefully into the prepared slot. For PXI boards, use
the lever at the front plate in order to push in the board finally.
When the board has been inserted properly, it is to be fixed by means
of the screw(s) at the front plate.
Now, the board has been installed correctly.
Afterwards, carry out the operations required at the system to make it
ready for operation anew.
