Keysight M9601A Startup Guide, Edition 2

Step 4: Install the Module

NOTE

Before the module installation, make sure that the controller is turned off.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet to establish 

earth ground and to prevent ESD.

2. Make sure that the chassis power switch is Off.

3. 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 them off.

4. Remove the filler panel that covers the slot in which you want to install the 

module.

5. Remove thread protectors from the top and bottom mounting screws of the 

module.

6. Hold the module by the injector/ejector handle and slide it into the slot.

Install the module into the slot of the chassis by placing the module card 
edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).

Slide the module to the rear of the chassis and assure that the injector/ 
ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched (downward) position.

Slide the module completely into the chassis. When you begin to feel 
resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to fully seat the module 
into the chassis.

7. Latch the module by pulling up on the injector/ejector handle and secure the 

front panel to the chassis using the module front-panel mounting screws.

8. Tighten the screws on the module front panel. Performance may suffer if the 

screws are not securely tightened.

9. Install all chassis covers, filler panels, and air scoops after installing the 

module. Also see CAUTION below.

For more information on the module installation, refer to the PXIe chassis 
documentation.

CAUTION

Ensure that filler panels are installed in all empty slots. Missing filler panels will 
impact cooling of the chassis and may cause RFI (radio frequency interference) 
with other devices.
