Maintenance
This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXI-1036 and
PXI-1036DC chassis.
Caution
Disconnect the power cables prior to servicing the chassis.
DC Fuse Replacement (PXI-1036DC Only)
The PXI-1036DC is protected against over-current by a 30 A fuse on the rear of the chassis, as
shown in Figure 1-3,
Rear View of the PXI-1036DC Chassis
. The fuse should only be replaced
with a Wickmann 162.6385.530, Littlefuse 257 030, or equivalent. To remove the fuse, pull
straight out
from the chassis.
Service Interval
Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating
environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability.
Preparation
The information in this chapter is designed for use by qualified service personnel. Read the
Read
Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility
document included with your kit before
attempting any procedures in this chapter.
Caution
Many components within the chassis are susceptible to static discharge
damage. Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe standard
handling precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis. Always
wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while servicing the chassis.
