Module Types and Slot Positions
When installing modules in the chassis, consider the following:
•
NI modules may be installed in any slot position from 1 through 16.
•
CMMs may be installed in slots A or B.
•
NI modules cannot be installed in CMM slots A or B; likewise, CMMs cannot be installed in any NI
slot position.
•
At least four (4) SFMs must be installed in SFM slots 1 through 5 on the back of the chassis. (You can
install SFMs in all five slots for redundancy.)
More Information on Slot Numbering.
For a diagram showing the chassis layout and slot positions, refer
to
Chapter 2, “Chassis and Power Supplies.”

First, loosen the module’s two captive screws that secure the module to the chassis. If necessary, use a
flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the screws. Be sure that both captive screws are completely disengaged
from the threaded holes in the chassis before continuing.
