Installing a PXI Express System Controller

This section contains general installation instructions for installing a PXI Express system
controller in a PXIe-1084 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. 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.
2. 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 2-4.
