Installing a PXI Controller
This section contains general instructions for installing a PXI controller in
the PXI-1056 chassis. Refer to your PXI controller user manual for specific
instructions and cautions. Complete the following steps to install a
controller.
1.
Plug in the PXI chassis before installing the controller. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the controller. Make sure the chassis power switch is in the
Off (Standby) position.
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
off until you finish installing the controller.
2.
Install the controller into the system controller slot (slot 1, indicated by
the red card guides) by first placing the controller edges into the front
controller guides (right and left). Slide the controller to the rear of the
chassis (making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as
shown in Figure 2-2).
