Connecting Safety Ground Warning The PXI-1006 chassis is designed with a three-position NEMA 15-5 style plug that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure your electrical power outlet has an appropriate earth safety ground that is connected whenever you power up the chassis.
States, CSA C22.2 21 and 49 for use in Canada, and IEC 227 or 245 for use in the European Union. AC mains power supply cords used with the PXI-1006 in other countries must be approved by the authority having jurisdiction in that country.
Chapter 1 Installing and Verifying Operation Install your controller in Slot 1 of your PXI-1006. Install peripheral cards, if any, in slots 2 through 18. 1 PXI-1006 Chassis 3 Ejector Handle in Down Position 2 Peripheral Card 4 PXI Controller Figure 1-1.
PXI-1006 Features This chapter describes the key features of the PXI-1006 chassis and lists optional equipment you can order from National Instruments. Key Features The PXI-1006 combines a high-performance 18-slot PXI backplane with a high-output power supply and a structural design that has been optimized for maximum usability in a wide range of applications.
Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1006. The PXI-1006 has three PCI bus segments linked via two 64-bit PCI-to-PCI bridges. The PCI bus segment divisions are represented on the front of the chassis by vertical bars.

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features Remote Power Monitoring and Inhibiting Interface The PXI-1006 chassis supports remote power monitoring and inhibiting via a 9-pin D-sub connector located on the rear panel. Table 2-1 shows the pinout of the DB-9 connector. Table 2-1. DB-9 Connector Pinout...
PXI-1006 Features Using the Power Monitoring Feature You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in your PXI-1006 are within the allowable limits. When connecting digital voltmeter probes to the rear D-sub connector, be careful Caution not to short the probe leads together. Doing so could damage the power supply.
.ini read the file, and configuration utilities and device drivers can also .ini use this file. The PXI-1006 chassis initialization file, chassis.ini is included on the diskette for your PXI-1006. Cleaning Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis and cleaning the fan filters.
Clean the fan filters by washing them in a mild soap solution and then vacuuming or blowing air through them. Rinse the filters with water and allow them to dry before reinstalling them on the chassis. PXI-1006 User Manual 2-10 ni.com...
This chapter describes basic troubleshooting procedures you can perform on the PXI-1006 chassis. Troubleshooting the PXI-1006 Refer to Table 3-1 to troubleshoot the PXI-1006 chassis. The table lists possible causes for power failure and recommends ways to correct the problem.
