Figure 2-4 shows a PXI controller installed in the system controller slot of 
a PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC chassis. You can place CompactPCI or PXI 
modules in any other slot.

Figure 2-4.

Installing PXI Modules

Complete the following steps to install a module.

1.

Make sure the power switch is in the Off (Standby) position.

2.

Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module card 
edges into the front module guides (top and bottom), as shown in 
Figure 2-5. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that 
the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-3. 

3.

When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector 
handle to fully inject the module into the chassis frame. Secure the 
module front panel to the chassis using the module front-panel 
mounting screws.
