Procedure 3: Controller in the Rightmost PXI Slot
You can control your SCXI switches without additional cabling by
installing your controller in the rightmost PXI slot of a PXI-1010 or
PXI-1011 chassis. Refer to Table 1 to determine if your controller supports
your SCXI switch module. To install your switch module with the
controller in the rightmost PXI slot, complete the following steps:
1.
Power off and unplug the PXI chassis. Follow proper ESD precautions
to ensure you are grounded before installing the hardware.
2.
(PXI-1010 only) Set the chassis address switches to OFF. All address
switches shown in Figure 5 are in the OFF position.
3.
Confirm the correct power settings of the chassis (100, 120, 220,
or 240 VAC) shown in Figure 5.
4.
Remove the filler panel in an unused SCXI slot.
5.
Touch any metal part of your chassis to discharge static electricity.
6.
Insert the switch module into the SCXI slot.
7.
Screw the switch front panel to the chassis front panel mounting rail.
8.
Connect the chassis power cord.
