PXI Installation
6. Slide the module completely into the chassis and latch it by pulling up on
the ejector handle. Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of
the module front panel.
Caution
Performance may suffer if both screws are not tightened
properly.
7. Verify that the PXI chassis fans are operable and free of dust and other
contaminants restricting airflow. Refer to the
section for more information.
8. Plug in the PXI chassis.
Uninstalling PXI Modules
When removing PXI modules from the chassis, ensure that you are grounded
with a grounding strap or are touching a grounded metal surface. To avoid
ESD, do
not
touch the exposed connector pins or any exposed circuitry on
the device. When not in use, PXI devices should be stored in the original
antistatic envelope to avoid damage.
Hot Surface
During operation, the metal surfaces of PXI devices
may become hot. Be careful when removing the device from the
chassis or when moving it to a different peripheral slot. When
removing the device, hold it by
only
the ejector handle and front
panel.
