4. If you need to use an EMI gasket to reduce high-frequency emissions, 

install it now. Refer to the 

Retrofitting Your PXI Module Note to Users

 

for gasket installation instructions.

5. Remove the packaging material on the PXI connector and on the screws.

6. Ensure that the ejector handle is in the unlatched (downward) position, 

as shown in Figure 1.

7. Holding the module by the ejector handle, slide it into an empty slot, 

ensuring that the base card (on the left when looking at the front of the 
module) engages with the card guides in the chassis.

8. Slide the module completely into the chassis and latch by pulling up on 

the ejector handle.

9. Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the module front panel.

10. Before operating the module, install all chassis covers and filler panels. 

Missing filler panels disrupt the necessary air circulation in the chassis.

Note

NI recommends that you install slot blockers between 

modules to maximize air flow. NI recommends using the PXI 
Chassis Slot Blocker Kit, part number 778678-01, available for 
purchase at 

ni.com

.

11. Plug in and power on the chassis.

NI PXI modules are sensitive instruments that should be handled carefully. 
Do not expose the module to temperatures or humidity beyond the rated 
maximums. Keep the module free of dust by cleaning with compressed air 
only. Do not clean the module with any solvents or liquids. For more 
information about module cooling, refer to the guidelines in the 

Maintain 

Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users

 included with your NI digital waveform 

generator/analyzer.

Maintaining PXI Systems

Clean the fan filters on the chassis regularly to prevent air circulation path 
blockage. Cleaning frequency depends on the amount of use and the 
operating environment. For specific information about cleaning procedures, 
and other recommended maintenance, refer to the module specifications and 
the chassis user documentation.

Uninstalling PXI Modules

When removing PXI modules from the chassis, first power down the chassis. 
Then ensure that you are grounded with a grounding strap or are touching a 
grounded metal surface. To avoid ESD, do not touch the exposed pins of the 
PXI connector or any exposed circuitry on the module. When not in use, PXI 
modules should be stored in the original antistatic packaging to avoid 
damage.
