Installing Peripheral Modules
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a peripheral module in a
PXIe-1090 chassis. Refer to your peripheral module user manual for specific instructions and
warnings. To install a module, complete the following steps:
Note
To avoid possible damage to a peripheral module when you install it in the
PXIe-1090 chassis, the chassis
must
be in a vertical orientation, as shown in the
following figure.
Do not
install a peripheral module with the chassis in a horizontal
orientation.
Note
The PXIe-1090 chassis also
must
be in a vertical orientation when you
remove a peripheral module from the chassis.
Do not
remove a peripheral module
with the chassis in a horizontal orientation.
1.
Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before installing the module.
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2.
Ensure that the chassis is powered off.
3.
Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module card PCB into the front of
the card guides (top and bottom), as shown in the following figure. Slide the module to
the rear of the chassis, making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down, as
shown in the following figure.
4.
When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to fully seat the
module into the chassis frame. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the
module front-panel mounting screws.
