Installing PXI Modules
To install the device in either a PXI chassis, a PXI/SCXI combination chassis,
or a PXI/CompactPCI chassis, complete the following steps:
1. Power off and unplug the PXI chassis.
2. (Optional) If you need to use the provided EMI gasket to reduce
high-frequency emissions, install it now. Refer to the
Retrofitting Your
PXI Module Note to Users
for more information about installing the
gasket.
3. Position the PXI chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed.
For more information, refer to the chassis documentation.
4. Make sure that the ejector handle is in the unlatched (downward)
position.
5. Hold the PXI module by the ejector handle and slide it into an empty slot.
Make sure that the base engages with the guides in the chassis, as shown
in Figure 1.
