1. SMA (m)-to-SMA (m) Cable, 1 m
2. Mini-HDMI-to-Mini-HDMI Cable
1. Use one of the included 1 m SMA (m)-to-SMA (m) cables to connect the
mmRH-5582 IF OUT connector to the PXIe-3623IF IN mmWave 0 front panel
connector.
2. Use another 1 m SMA (m)-to-SMA (m) cable to connect the mmRH-5582 LO IN
connector to the PXIe-3623LO1 0 mmWave front panel connector.
3. Use another 1 m SMA (m)-to-SMA (m) cable to connect the mmRH-5582 IF IN
connector to the PXIe-3623IF OUT mmWave 0 front panel connector.
4. Use the Mini-HDMI-to-Mini-HDMI cable to connect the mmRH-5582DIO IN
connector to the PXIe-3623 DIO front panel connector. Insert the jackscrew
and finger-tighten the jackscrew to the PXIe-3623 front panel.
5. Connect the AC power supply adapter to the mmRH-5582 power input. Finger-
tighten the locking screws on the power supply connector to the mmRH-5582
using a small flat blade screwdriver.
