cord supplied. Refer to Figure 1-2,
Rear View of the PXI-1025 MegaPAC
, for a diagram of the IEC 320 inlet.
Push the power switch to the On position (if not already on). Observe
that all fans become operational.
If the chassis fails to power up, refer to the following table for possible
causes for the power failure and ways to correct them.
Installing PXI Modules
Caution
Turn off the chassis power before installing CompactPCI or PXI modules.
Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module’s card edges
into the front module guides (top and bottom), as shown in Figure 2-3.
Slide the module into the chassis (making sure that the injector/ejector
handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-4.
When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle
to inject the card into the frame. Secure the module’s front panel to the
chassis using the module’s front-panel mounting screws.
