Step 4. Install the Modules

Caution
Make sure the chassis is completely powered off. SCXI modules are not hot-swappable.
Adding or removing modules while the chassis is powered on can result in blown chassis fuses or
damage to the chassis and modules.
PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis
To install the PXI DAQ communicating device in the right-most slot of the PXI chassis, complete the
following steps:
1. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.
2. Place the module edges into the top and bottom PXI module guides, as shown in Figure 5.
3. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis. Ensure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down.
4. When you begin to feel resistance, pull up on the injector/ejector handle to inject the module.
5. Secure the module to the chassis front panel mounting rail using the two screws.
