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,
. 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.
