Phase Matrix PXI-1430B RF Downconverter Module
7
Quick Start Guide
1
Assure that the power switch is in the Off (Standby) position and
unplug the PXI chassis.
2
If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fans are
set to automatic. Do not set the fan speed to low or turn it off.
3
Position the chassis so that there is ample space between the chassis
fan intake and exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or obstructions
affects the air flow needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis
documentation for more information about cooling.)
4
Holding the PXI-1430B by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into an
available PXI (or hybrid) slot, as shown in
a
Install the PXI-1430B into the PXI (or hybrid) slot of the chassis
by placing the module card edges into the front module guides
(top and bottom).
b
Slide the PXI-1430B to the rear of the chassis and assure that the
injector/ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched
(downward) position.
c
Slide the module completely into the chassis. When you begin to
feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to fully
inject the module into the chassis frame.
5
Latch the PXI-1430B by pulling up on the injector/ejector handle
and secure the module front panel to the chassis using the module
front-panel mounting screws.
6
Tighten the screws on the PXI-1430B front panel. Performance may
suffer if the screws are not tightened properly.
7
Verify that the PXI chassis fans are operable and free of dust and
other contaminants that may restrict airflow.
8
Install all chassis covers and filler panels after installing the
PXI-1430B. Missing filler panels disrupt necessary air circulation in
the chassis.
9
Plug-in and power-on the PXI chassis.
N O T E
Phase Matrix recommends installing slot blockers in adjacent vacant PXI slots to
maximize cooling air flow to the PXI modules.
