Installing a PXI Express System Controller
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a
PXI Express system controller in a NI PXIe-1071 chassis. Refer to your
PXI Express system controller user manual for specific instructions and
warnings. To install a system controller, complete the following steps:
1.
Inspect the slot 1 pins on the chassis backplane for any bending or
damage prior to installation.
2.
Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before installing
the system controller. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects
it from electrical damage while you install the system controller.
3.
Install the system controller into the system controller slot (slot 1,
indicated by the red card guides) by first placing the system controller
PCB into the front of the card guides (top and bottom). Slide the
system controller to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the
injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-4.
