Uninstalling a PXI DMM
Hot Surface
During operation, the metal surfaces of PXI DMMs may exceed safe handling
temperatures and cause burns. Allow the DMM to cool before removing it from the chassis or when
moving it to a different peripheral slot. When removing the DMM, hold it by the ejector handle and
front panel
only
.
When removing a PXI DMM from the chassis, ensure you are grounded with a grounding strap or are
touching a grounded metal surface. To avoid ESD, do
not
touch the exposed connector pins or any
exposed circuitry on the device. When not in use, store the PXI DMM in the original antistatic envelope
to avoid damage.
