Step 4: Install the Module
c. Slide the module completely into the chassis. When the module's con-
nectors contact the chassis backplane you will feel some resistance, and
the extraction handles will begin to move inwards. Now you may press the
handles inwards and towards the front panel until the module is completely
inserted.
d. Slide the plastic ends of the extraction handles outwards and tighten the
captive retaining screws at both ends of the module.
5. Install filler panels in any unused slots. Missing filler panels may disrupt necessary
air circulation in the chassis.
6. If you are using a remote controller, with an interface such as the M9045B or
M9048A, connect the cable from the chassis to the PC host, as per the instruc-
tions that came with the interface.
7. Power up the chassis. It is often necessary to wait until the chassis and its mod-
ules have completed their start-up sequence before proceeding to power-up the
host controller.
8. Reboot or power-up the PC host. Check the module front panel indicators - after
the boot process the
STATUS
LED should be green, and no other LEDs lit.
Multi-module synchronization
The M9709A AXIe Digitizer includes the ability to maintain synchronization across
multiple modules within the same AXIe chassis.
For details about multi-module location in the chassis and configuration prior to
synchronization, please refer to
> Multi-Module
Synchronization section.
Once the modules and chassis are configured, the multi-module acquisition can be
performed. MD2 Soft Front Panel can be used to verify the configuration and
synchronize the modules: See
> Specific modes > Multi-module
synchronization.
