Module Installation Process Overview - Keysight Technologies M9300A Startup Manual

Step 4: Install the Module
Position chassis to allow plenty of space around chassis air intake and fan exhaust.
l
At environment temperatures above 45 °C, set chassis fan speed to high.

M9018A Chassis Air Flow
The M9018A has multiple air intakes. They are located at the lower sides, lower front, and bottom of the
chassis.

Module Installation Process Overview

The module can be installed in any PXIe or hybrid PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility
image (solid black circle for PXIe, or solid black circle with the letter "H" for hybrid).
1. Make sure that the line cord is plugged in to establish earth ground and that the chassis power switch is Off.
2. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fan switch is set to AUTO and the inhibit switch is set to
DEF.
3. Position the chassis to provide ample space between the chassis fan intake and exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or
obstructions affects the air flow needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for more information about
cooling).
4. Before inserting a module into the chassis, back the mounting screws out to ensure that there is no interference
between the screws and the mounting rails.
