Keysight M9187A PXI Digital IO Startup Guide
Step 5: Install the Module in the PXI Chassis
6
Latch the module by pulling up on the injector/ejector handle and secure the
front panel to the chassis using the module mounting screws.
7
Tighten the screws on the module (or remote controller) front panel.
Performance may suffer if the screws are not securely tightened.
8
Install all chassis covers, filler panels, and air inlet modules after installing the
module. Missing filler panels may disrupt necessary air circulation in the
chassis.
9
If you are using a remote controller, connect the System Interface Card in the
chassis to the host computer.
10
Plug in and power up the PXI chassis. Verify that the chassis fans are
operating and free of obstructions that may restrict airflow.
11
If you are using a remote host computer (rack mount, desktop, or laptop PC),
power-on the computer. Choose the default option for any “Found New
Hardware” dialogs.
Chassis Power Down Process
If you are using a remote controller linked to the M9021A Cable
Interface, you must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up
the PC. When you power down your system, you must Shut Down
the PC BEFORE you power down the chassis.
If you are using MXI-3 to connect a desktop PC to a PXI chassis or
link to multiple chassis, power up the system as follows:
-
For a system with a PC and one chassis, power up the chassis
before powering the PC.
-
For a system with more than one chassis, power on the last
chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc. Finally,
turn on the PC or chassis containing the system controller.
After all of the “Found New Hardware” dialogs are complete, you
must reboot the host computer.
If you are using a remote controller linked to the M9021A Cable
Interface, you must Shut Down the PC BEFORE you power down
the chassis. When you restore power, you must power up the
chassis BEFORE you power up the PC.
