5. STEP 4: Overview of Installing
and Verifying Keysight Modules
Installation of Keysight modules should only be performed if you have been
able to successfully view the chassis slots with Keysight Connection Expert as
described in the
Using Connection Expert to connect to the chassis on page 27
section. Preferably you have also been able to use the PXIe chassis soft front
panel with the chassis as well.
This sequencing is important both when powering up the chassis and powering
down the chassis.
Installing modules
If you plan to install multiple high power Keysight modules in the chassis, see the
Keysight PXIe Chassis Family User Guide for information on power planning and
chassis cooling. Prior to installing your modules, review the installation instructions
for the PXIe system module in the
Step 1. Install a PXIe system module in the
section. The instructions for this module are applicable to all
modules installed in the chassis.
Installing the module software
The PXIe chassis drivers that you installed in the
1
section are completely separate from your module
software. The chassis drivers permit interfacing to chassis functionality such as
temperature sensors and fan speeds, while your module software is required to
interface to your particular module.
The documentation for your Keysight module will indicate that Keysight IO Library
Suite should be installed. However, only one installation of IO Library Suite is
required on the host controller PC. Presuming that you installed IO Libraries Suite
as described in the
Installing the Keysight IO Libraries Suite on page 2
section, it
does not need to be installed again when installing software for Keysight modules.
If you did not install IO Libraries Suite earlier, it must be installed before you install
your module-specific software.
After ensuring that IO Libraries Suite is installed, follow the instructions provided
with your module to install its software.
