Installing the PXI/PXIe-5122

Caution

 

To prevent damage to the PXI/PXIe/PCI-5122 caused by ESD or

contamination, handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

1.

Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.

2.

Power off the chassis.

3.

Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4.

Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.

5.

Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that
indicate the slot types.

Hybrid peripheral slots, or PXI Express System Timing slots.

6.

Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.

7.

Ensure that the ejector handle is in the downward (unlatched) position.
