Step 5: Verify Operation of the Module
Step 5: Verify Operation of the Module
CAUTION
If you are using a remote controller (rackmount, desktop, or laptop PC), and you
have installed the interface cable, you must power up the chassis before you
power up the controller. When you power down your system, shut down the
controller before you power down the chassis.
To Check Communication
Perform the following procedure to check the communication between the
module and the controller.
1. Make sure that the chassis and the controller are turned off.
2. If you are using a remote controller, connect a PXIe cable between the
chassis and the controller.
3. Power up the chassis. Verify that the chassis fans are operating and free of
obstructions that may restrict airflow.
4. Power up the controller.
5. Check that the controller automatically recognizes the module in the device
manager; e.g. via Start menu > Windows System Tools > Control Panel >
Device Manager. The module should be visible in the device tree.
The controller might request a reboot. Reboot the controller, if requested.
6. Check if the module is also visible in the Keysight Connection Expert; e.g. via
Start menu > Keysight Connection Expert.
If something went wrong and the module is not shown in the PXIe section, it
may be necessary to reboot the controller once more.
