Installing PXI Modules
Caution
Turn off the mainframe power before installing CompactPCI or PXI modules.
Install a module into a mainframe slot by first placing the module’s card
edges into the front module guides (top and bottom), as shown in
Figure 2-2. Slide the module to the rear of the mainframe (making sure that
the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-3). When
you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to inject
the card into the frame. Secure the module’s front panel to the mainframe
using the module’s front-panel mounting screws.
Figure 2-2.
