4. If you need to use an EMI gasket to reduce high-frequency emissions,
install it now. Refer to the Retrofitting Your PXI Module Note to Users
for gasket installation instructions.
5. Remove the packaging material on the PXI connector and on the screws.
6. Ensure that the ejector handle is in the unlatched (downward) position,
as shown in Figure 1.
7. Holding the module by the ejector handle, slide it into an empty slot,
ensuring that the base card (on the left when looking at the front of the
module) engages with the card guides in the chassis.
8. Slide the module completely into the chassis and latch by pulling up on
the ejector handle.
9. Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the module front panel.
10. Before operating the module, install all chassis covers and filler panels.
Missing filler panels disrupt the necessary air circulation in the chassis.
Note NI recommends that you install slot blockers between
modules to maximize air flow. NI recommends using the PXI
Chassis Slot Blocker Kit, part number 778678-01, available for
purchase at
ni.com.
11. Plug in and power on the chassis.
NI PXI modules are sensitive instruments that should be handled carefully.
Do not expose the module to temperatures or humidity beyond the rated
maximums. Keep the module free of dust by cleaning with compressed air
only. Do not clean the module with any solvents or liquids. For more
information about module cooling, refer to the guidelines in the Maintain
Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users included with your NI digital waveform
generator/analyzer.
Maintaining PXI Systems
Clean the fan filters on the chassis regularly to prevent air circulation path
blockage. Cleaning frequency depends on the amount of use and the
operating environment. For specific information about cleaning procedures,
and other recommended maintenance, refer to the module specifications and
the chassis user documentation.
Uninstalling PXI Modules
When removing PXI modules from the chassis, first power down the chassis.
Then ensure that you are grounded with a grounding strap or are touching a
grounded metal surface. To avoid ESD, do not touch the exposed pins of the
PXI connector or any exposed circuitry on the module. When not in use, PXI
modules should be stored in the original antistatic packaging to avoid
damage.
