Installing the PXIe-5665

Caution

 

To prevent damage to the PXIe-5665 caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

You must install NI-RFSA before installing the hardware.
Before you install the hardware, refer to the guidelines in the 

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling

Note to Users

 included with the module to ensure that the device can cool itself effectively.

To use the included cables, you must install the PXIe-5622 IF digitizer immediately to the left

of the PXIe-5603 or PXIe-5605 RF downconverter module, and you must install the

PXIe-5653 LO source module immediately to the right of the PXIe-5603 or PXIe-5605 RF

downconverter module.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you

install the module.

2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to

installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that

indicate the slot types.
