Troubleshooting

If an issue persists after you complete a troubleshooting procedure, contact NI technical
support or visit

.

Why Is the ACCESS LED Off When the Chassis Is
On?

The LEDs may not light until the device has been configured in MAX. Before proceeding,
verify that the NI 5645R appears in MAX.

If the ACCESS LED fails to light after you power on the chassis, a problem may exist with the
chassis power rails, a hardware module, or the LED.

Caution

 

Apply external signals only while the NI 5645R is powered on. Applying

external signals while the device is powered off may cause damage.

1.

Disconnect any signals from the PXI Express module front panels.

Caution

 

Do not disconnect the cable that connects CAL IN to CAL OUT.

Removing the cable from or tampering with the CAL IN or CAL OUT front
panel connectors voids the product calibration and specifications are no longer
warranted.

2.

Power off the PXI Express chassis.

3.

Remove the module from the PXI Express chassis and inspect it for damage. Do not
reinstall a damaged device.

4.

Install the module in a different PXI Express chassis slot from which you removed it.

5.

Power on the PXI Express chassis.

6.

Restart your computer.

7.

Verify that the device appears in MAX.

What Should I Do if the NI 5645R Doesn't Appear in
MAX?

1.

In the MAX configuration tree, expand 

Devices and Interfaces

.

2.

Expand the 

Chassis

 tree to see the list of installed hardware, and press <F5> to refresh

the list.

3.

If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure that all hardware is correctly
installed, and restart the system.

4.

Navigate to the Device Manager.
