Step 4: Install the Module
Step 4: Install the Module
M9703A supported AXIe chassis configurations:
In a M9502A 2-slot chassis, two M9703As could be used.
In a M9505A 5-slot chassis, five M9703As could be used.
In a M9514A 14-slot, eight M9703As could be used.
In any case, the remaining slots should be filled either with another instrument,
or with an AXIe slot filler
The M9703A hardware does not support "hot-swap" operations. Before installing
the module into the chassis, power-off the chassis to prevent damage to the
module.
1. Make sure that the power cord is plugged-in to establish earth ground but the
chassis power is Off (Standby).
2. Position the chassis so that there is ample space between the chassis fan intake
and exhaust vents.
3. If you are using an embedded controller, this must normally be installed in slot 1 of
the chassis. In this case install the M9703A in slot 2 or higher.
If you are using M9537A AXIe Embedded Controller, the chassis (M9502A or
M9505A) should be updated to firmware version 1.3.42 or higher (available at

4. To insert the module into a chassis:
a. Align the module's board edges with the chassis guide rails and push it for-
ward into the chassis. Note: that it is the circuit board, not the metal cover
plate which must be inserted into the rails. The module should slide in eas-
ily, if it does not, withdraw it and re-check the alignment.
b. Locate the extraction handles at either end of the module. Extend the ends
of both handles by pulling them inwards towards each other; the plastic
ends will slide out by about 1 cm. Then put the handles into the extracted
position by pivoting them outwards until they are perpendicular to the front
panel as shown in the diagram below.
