2�1 Power Budget Consideration
Prior to installing any cards into the PXI-62700 chassis, please calculate the system power
requirement. The power budget for every DC power sources shall also be checked, including
+5V, +3.3V, +12V, -12V supply rail. Please refer to Appendix A for the maximum usable
power.
2�2 Step for Installation
Follow the step to power on the chassis.
Step 1: Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
Step 2: Plug in the AC power cord in each power supply unit.
Step 3: Install the controller. Please check the ejector/injector handle is pushed down.
Align the controller edge to the “RED” card guide, sliding in to the rear of the chassis.
Push up on the ejector/injector handle to fully inject the card into the chassis. Secure
the screws on the module’s front panel.
Step 4: Install peripheral modules if any.
Step 5: Press the power switch on the front panel to power on the chassis.
Step 6: Check the LED to make sure the power input is ready. There are four green LED
indicators of 3.3V, 5V, +12V, and -12V. The four LED will light when power turn on.
The fans should become operational as well.
Note: If the chassis does not power on, see Chapter 4, troubleshooting and Preventative
