Cooling
Note
National Instruments is not responsible for damage to the backplane if inadequate
cooling is used.
You should mount a fan below the backplane. Airflow should be from the
bottom to the top of the PXI modules. You must determine the airflow
requirements for your system based on the
PXI Hardware Specification
.
Handling
Cautions
Be careful to avoid bending or otherwise damaging the pins on the backplane
connectors. Bent pins may cause functional failures or damage when the backplane is
powered.
To protect both yourself and the backplane from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
powered off until you finish installing the PXI controller and modules.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage your equipment. To avoid such damage,
discharge the static built up on your body by touching a grounded metal object before
handling the PXI equipment. Then touch the antistatic plastic package containing the
backplane to a metal part of your PXI chassis before removing the backplane from the
packaging.
