Procedure 1: Installing the SCXI Switch in an Existing System
If your SCXI system already has a controller installed, you can simply add
additional SCXI switch modules in any available SCXI slots. Refer to
Table 1 to determine if your controller supports your SCXI switch module.
To install 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.
