Note. To further reduce exposure to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and physical damage, do not remove more than one
module at a time from the factory packaging. Unpack one
module, immediately install the module in the chassis,
then repeat the sequence for another module.
Before beginning, note that the CMM modules and NI
modules slide into the chassis card guides differently. With
CMMs, the back of the module's printed circuit board (which
is wider than the front side) initially provides the glide path.
When the printed circuit board narrows a sheet metal flange
continues the remaining glide path. With NIs, the edges of the
module's printed circuit board slide into the guides.
CMM Glide Path
14 Installing the Hardware
To install an NI or CMM module, follow the steps below.
1 Holding the module in both hands, carefully slide it
into the chassis card guide. The component side of the
board should face right.
2 The module should slide in easily. Do not force the
module into the slot. If any resistance is encountered,
ensure the module is aligned properly in the card guide.
Also, see the important note regarding chassis card guides
on page 14.
