Installing the PXIe-4138/4139

Notice

 

To prevent damage to the PXIe-4138/4139 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

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the PXIe-4138/4139.

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.

Position the chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed.

For more information about optimal chassis positioning, refer to the chassis
documentation.

5.

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

6.

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