

Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded metal object.



Touch the antistatic bag to a grounded metal object before removing the hardware
from its packaging.



Never

touch exposed signal pins. Due to the inherent performance degradation

caused by ESD protection circuits in the RF path, the device has minimal ESD
protection against direct injection of ESD into the RF signal pins.



When not in use, store all SignalCore products in their original antistatic bags.

Unpacking

All SignalCore products ship in antistatic packaging (bags) to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Under certain conditions, an ESD event can instantly and permanently damage several
of the components found in SignalCore products. Therefore, to avoid damage when handling any
SignalCore hardware, you must take the following precautions:

Remove the product from its packaging and inspect it for loose components or any signs of damage.
Notify SignalCore immediately if the product appears damaged in any way.

Verifying the Contents of your Shipment

Verify that your SC5305A kit contains the following items:

SC5305A RF Downconverter for PXI Express

Software Installation USB Flash Drive (may be combined with other products onto a single drive)

Setting Up and Configuring the SC5305A

The SC5305A is a designed for use in a PXI Express (PXIe) or PXIe hybrid chassis. Chassis manufacturers
must  provide  at  least  the  minimum  required  per-slot  power  dissipation  cooling  capability  to  be
compliant  with the PXIe  specifications. The  SC5305A is designed to be  sufficiently cooled in either  all-
PXIe  chassis  or  PXIe  hybrid  chassis  (chassis  with  a  mix  of  PXI  Express  slots  and  traditional  PXI  slots).
However,  certain  environmental  factors  may  degrade  performance.  Inadequate  cooling  can  cause  the
temperature  inside  the  RF  housing  to  rise

above the maximum for this product, leading to improper

performance and potentially reducing product lifespan or causing complete product failure. Maintain
adequate air space around the chassis at all times, and keep the chassis fan filters clean and
unobstructed.

Refer to your chassis manufacturer’s user manual for proper setup and maintenance of your
PXIe or PXIe hybrid chassis. The SC5305A on-board temperature sensor should indicate a rise
of no more than 20 °C above ambient temperature under normal operating conditions.
