Installing a PXI Express System Controller
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a PXI Express system
controller in a PXIe-1066DC chassis. Refer to your PXI Express system controller user manual
for specific instructions and warnings. To install a system controller, complete the following
steps:
1.
Ensure that the chassis is properly grounded to protect it from electrical damage while you
install the system controller.
2.
Install the system controller into the system controller slot (slot 1, indicated by the red card
guides) by first placing the system controller PCB into the front of the card guides (top and
bottom). Slide the system controller to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the
injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-5.

3.
When you begin to feel resistance, pull up on the injector/ejector handle to seat the system
controller fully into the chassis frame. Secure the system controller front panel to the
chassis using the system controller front-panel mounting screws.
4.
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the appropriate connectors. Connect devices
to ports as required by your system configuration.
5.
Power on the chassis. Verify that the system controller boots. If the system controller does
not boot, refer to your system controller user manual.
