Cable the E Series Device to the Switch
E Series devices can directly cable only to switches with 50-pin rear
connectors. Refer to Table 1 to determine if your switch module has a
50-pin rear connector. To cable an E Series device to your SCXI switch,
complete the following steps:
1.
Power off and unplug the SCXI chassis. Follow proper ESD
precautions to ensure you are grounded before installing the hardware.
2.
Remove the filler panel in an unused SCXI slot.
3.
Touch any metal part of your chassis to discharge static electricity.
4.
Insert the switch module into the SCXI slot.
5.
Screw the switch front panel to the chassis front panel mounting rail.
6.
Attach the SCXI-1349 cable adapter to the rear of the SCXI switch
module.
7.
Screw the cable adapter to the chassis cable adapter mounting rail.
8.
Connect one end of the SH6868 cable to the SCXI-1349 and the other
to the E Series device.
