PXI-1010 Chassis Installation
Caution
Equipment described in this document must be used in an Installation
Category II environment per IEC 644. This category requires local level supply
mains-connected installation.
Complete the following steps to install the PXI-1010 chassis:
1.
If you are
not
using multiple chassis, skip this step and leave the
address at its factory-default setting of 0. If you are using multiple
chassis, change the SCXI chassis address of the SCXI subsystem by
following the instructions in the
SCXI Subsystem Address Selection
section earlier in this chapter.
2.
Place the PXI chassis on a sturdy, level surface. Leave at least 10 cm
(4 in.) of space behind the chassis for adequate air circulation.
3.
Turn off the power switches.
4.
Check that the voltage selection wheel in the power-entry module is set
for your outlet line voltage. Refer to the
Line Voltage Selection and
Fuse Values
section earlier in this chapter, if necessary.
5.
Insert the female end of your power cable into the power-entry
module.
6.
Insert the male end of your power cable into the wall outlet.
7.
Install the SCXI and PXI modules into the chassis (refer to the
appropriate sections later in this chapter).
If you are
not
using a DAQ device in Slot 8 of the PXI backplane
to control the SCXI modules, install the necessary cabling for your
modules. Consult your SCXI module documentation for cabling
installation instructions.
8.
Install any front and rear filler panels (refer to the appropriate sections
later in this chapter).
9.
Turn on the chassis power switches.
