SCXI-1340 Installation
Follow these steps to install the SCXI-1340:
1. Make sure that the computer and the SCXI chassis are turned off.
2. Install the SCXI module in the chassis.
3. Plug the mounting bracket connector onto the module rear signal connector (see Figure E-1).
An alignment tab on the bracket enters the upper board guide of the chassis.
4. Screw the mounting bracket to the threaded strips in the rear of the chassis.
5. Connect the loose end of the cable assembly to the MIO-16 or DIO-24 board rear signal
connector.
Check the installation.
After step 1, the order of these steps is not critical; however, it is easier to locate the correct
position for the mounting bracket with a module installed in the chassis. If you are attaching a
cable to the breakout connector, installation is easiest if you attach the second cable before
installing the SCXI-1340.
