Caution
Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the PXI-8214. The module
will not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not
interfere with the injector rail on the chassis.
5.
Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
6.
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the PXI-8214
should be even with the chassis front panel.
Figure 2-1 shows how to install the PXI-8214 in a PXI/CompactPCI
chassis.
