32 M5201A PXIe Downconverter Modules Startup Guide
2 Setting up the M5201A module
• To the extent possible, install the chassis in a location with lower
ambient temperatures. For example, avoid the situation where the
exhaust air from another chassis feeds into the air intake for this
chassis.
• If you have multiple M5201A modules and space is available in your
chassis, leave an empty slot between modules to enhance airflow.
Ensure that a slot blocker and a filler panel are installed in the empty
slots. Be aware that leaving an empty slot between modules changes
the length of inter-module cables, if any, and may also cause the
modules to be on different chassis backplane PXI_TRIG trigger bus
segments.
• Set the fan speed switch on the chassis such that the module may
receive sufficient airflow for adequate cooling. If not, it can result in a
thermal shutdown of the M5201A module. Setting the fan speed to the
maximum limit ensures maximum cooling with all chassis.
The Keysight Chassis have multiple air intakes. They are located at the
lower sides, lower front and bottom of the chassis. Refer to the
documentation of the Chassis you are using to know about cooling.
2.2.2: Preparing the PXIe Chassis
1 Make sure that the line cord is plugged into a grounded outlet to
establish earth ground.

2 Make sure that the chassis power switch is Off .
3 Before inserting a module into the chassis, back the mounting screws
out to ensure that there is no interference between the screws and the
mounting rails.
4 Make sure that the PXIe chassis fans are operable and free of dust and
other contaminants that may restrict airflow.
