PXIe-4844 Installation Guide and Specifications

Removing the PXIe-4844 from the PXIe Chassis

To remove the PXIe-4844 from the PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps:
1. Power off the chassis.
2. Remove any cables or sensors attached to the PXIe-4844. 
3. Loosen the four front panel mounting screws on the module.
4. Press the injector/ejector handle down.
5. Slide the module out of the chassis.
6. Place the PXIe-4844 in its original antistatic bag. Store the module within its hard-shelled 

plastic case.

Connecting Sensors

The PXIe-4844 has four simplex singlemode LC/APC connector ports to connect sensors. If 

your sensor does not have an LC/APC connector, you need an adapter to connect the sensor to 

the LC/APC connector port.

Caution

Connecting damaged or dirty sensors to the module can damage the 

LC/APC connector ports on the module. Always clean optical connectors before 

connecting to the module.

Caution

Never force an optical connector into an LC/APC connector port. 

A ferrule may break and damage the module.
