Installing PXI Modules
Note
Remove any rubber thread protectors from the PXI module mounting thumbscrews
before you install the module.
Complete the following steps to install a module.
1.
Make sure the power switch is in the Off position (NI LEDs on the
front of the chassis are not lit).
2.
Install a module into a chassis slot by completing the following steps:
a.
Place the module card edges into the front module guides (top and
bottom). Refer to Figure 2-4.
b.
Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the
injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-2.
3.
When you begin to feel resistance, pull up on the injector/ejector
handle to fully inject the module into the chassis frame. Secure the
module front panel to the chassis using the two module front-panel
mounting thumbscrews.
