Installing Rear Transition Interfaces
Caution
Do not touch or remove the I/O boards or cables while the system is
energized. I/O boards may have exposed hazardous live voltages. Access must be
prevented in normal operation
Note
Refer to RTI manufacturer documentation for product-specific installation
instructions.
NI recommends installing all RTIs prior to the initial module installation. Complete the
following steps to install RTIs:
1.
Power off the main DC power source or disconnect it from the chassis before installing
any RTI.
2.
Ensure that the chassis is powered off. The POWER LED should be off. If it is not off,
do not proceed until the POWER LED is off.
3.
Loosen the screws of the upper rear panel. Refer to Figure 2 for the upper rear panel screws
locations.
4.
Position the RTI at the desired slot and insert the securing screws, but do not fully tighten
them.
5.
Insert a corresponding module in the same slot providing additional resistance at the rear
of the RTI for the module to fully mate to the RTI.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all required RTIs.
7.
Tighten the screws for all RTIs and the upper rear panel. This ensures proper alignment for
future connections between modules and these RTIs.
Installing SLSC Modules
Caution
The SLSC-12001 chassis and the SLSC modules do not support hot
plug-in. The entire chassis must be powered down when a module is installed.
Complete the following steps to install an SLSC module in the chassis while referring to
Figure 6:
Caution
Power off the main DC power source or disconnect it from the chassis
before installing the module. To completely remove power, you must disconnect
all power cables.
Note
Refer to module and RTI documentation to ensure electrical compatibility for
rear I/O connections.
1.
Ensure that the chassis is powered off. The POWER LED should be off. If it is not off,
do not proceed until the POWER LED is off.
