The capability documentation for the PXIe-1086DC chassis is contained in the
chassis.ini
file on the software media that comes with the chassis. The information in this file is combined
with information about the system controller to create a single system initialization file called
pxisys.ini
(PXI System Initialization). The system controller manufacturer either provides
a
pxisys.ini
file for the particular chassis model that contains the system controller or
provides a utility that can read an arbitrary
chassis.ini
file and generate the corresponding
pxisys.ini
file. System controllers from NI provide the
pxisys.ini
file for the
PXIe-1086DC chassis, so you should not need to use the
chassis.ini
file. Refer to the
documentation provided with the system controller or to
ni.com/support
for more
information on
pxisys.ini
and
chassis.ini
files.
Device drivers and other utility software read the
pxisys.ini
file to obtain system
information. The device drivers should have no need to directly read the
chassis.ini
file.
For detailed information regarding initialization files, refer to the PXI Express specification at
www.pxisa.org
.
Maintenance
This section describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXIe-1086DC
chassis.
Caution
Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing your PXIe-1086DC 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 section is designed for use by qualified service personnel. Read the
PXIe-1086DC Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information
document included with
your kit before attempting any procedures in this section.
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.
Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis. Refer to your
module's user documentation for information about cleaning individual CompactPCI or PXI
Express modules.
Caution
Always disconnect the power cable prior to servicing the chassis.
