Installing a PXI Express System Controller
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a PXI Express system
controller in a NI PXIe-1082 chassis. Refer to your PXI Express system controller user manual
for specific instructions and warnings. To install a system controller, complete the following
steps:
1.
Inspect the slot 1 pins on the chassis backplane for any bending or damage prior to
installation.
2.
Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before installing the system
controller. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage
while you install the system controller.
3.
Install the system controller into the system controller slot (slot 1, indicated by the red card
guides) by first placing the system controller PCB into the front of the card guides (top and
bottom). Slide the system controller to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the
injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-3.
