3.
Hand-tighten all SMA cable ends on the SMA connectors. The cable connectors should
tighten without much torque or effort.
4.
Carefully complete tightening all SMA connectors to 1 N · m using an appropriate torque
wrench or torque screwdriver and SMA driver bit (not included). Tighten only until the
wrench clicks.
Caution
Incorrect torque at SMA connections can degrade signal fidelity and
phase-locked loop (PLL) performance and may cause insertion loss. Use an
appropriate torque wrench or torque screwdriver and SMA driver bit to ensure
all SMA connections are properly torqued. SMA connectors for connections to
external equipment may require torque different from 1 N · m, depending on
the connector type, material, and manufacturer.
5.
Power on your PXI Express chassis and controller system.
6.
Verify that the ACCESS LED is illuminated on all modules. If an LED is not illuminated,
refer to the
