Installing a PXI Controller
This section contains general instructions for installing a PXI controller in
the PXI-1052 chassis. Refer to your PXI controller user manual for specific
instructions and cautions. Complete the following steps to install a
controller.
1.
Plug in the PXI chassis before installing the controller. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the controller. Make sure the chassis power switch is in the Off
(Standby) position.
Caution
To protect yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis off
until you complete the controller installation.
2.
Install the controller into the system controller slot (Slot 1, indicated
by the red card guides) by completing the following steps:
a.
Place the controller edges into the front controller guides (top and
bottom).
b.
Slide the controller to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the
injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-2.
