Chapter 1 Getting Started Optional Equipment Contact National Instruments to order the following options for the NI PXIe-1062Q chassis. EMC Filler Panels Optional EMC filler panel kits are available from National Instruments. Rack Mount Kit There are two optional kits for mounting the NI PXIe-1062Q chassis into a rack.
Chapter 1 Getting Started PXI Peripheral Slots There are four PXI peripheral slots which will accept PXI or CompactPCI peripherals: slot 2, slot 6, slot 7, and slot 8. These slots are on the backplane’s 32-bit PCI bus. These slots offer full PXI functionality, but have no PXI Express features.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Initialization software uses the configuration information specific to each adjacent peripheral module to evaluate local bus compatibility.

Chapter 1 Getting Started By default, a high-level detected by the backplane on the PXIe_SYNC_CTRL pin causes a synchronous restart for the PXIe_SYNC100 signal. On the next PXI_CLK10 edge the PXIe_SYNC100 signal will restart. This will allow several chassis to have their PXIe_SYNC100 in phase with each other.
Part Replacement—Only service this equipment with parts that are exact replacements, both electrically and mechanically. Contact National Instruments for replacement part information. Installation of parts with those that are not direct replacements may cause harm to personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may occur if replacement parts are unsuitable.
Rack Mounting Rack mount applications require the optional rack mount kits available from National Instruments. Refer to the instructions supplied with the rack mount kits to install your NI PXIe-1062Q chassis in an instrument rack. Refer to Figure A-3, NI Chassis Rack Mount Kit Components.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Connecting Safety Ground The NI PXIe-1062Q chassis are designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 style Caution plug for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to seat the system controller fully into the chassis frame. Secure the system controller front panel to the chassis using the system controller front-panel mounting screws. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the appropriate connectors.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Caution When connecting digital voltmeter probes to the rear 9-pin D-SUB (DB-9) connector, be careful not to short the probe leads together. Doing so could damage the power supply. You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in the NI PXIe-1062Q chassis are within the allowable limits.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration PXI Express System Configuration with MAX The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate file. You can configure your entire PXI system and pxiesys.ini identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), included with your system controller.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Using System Configuration and Initialization Files The PXI Express specification allows many combinations of PXI Express chassis and system modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of PXI Express chassis and system modules must document the capabilities of their products.
Chapter 3 Maintenance Interior Cleaning Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components. Exterior Cleaning Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush.
Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration. If the power switch LED is not a steady green, contact National Instruments. Verify that the NI PXIe-1062Q chassis can meet the power requirements of your CompactPCI or PXI Express modules. Overloading the chassis can cause the breaker to trip. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications.
Chapter 3 Maintenance attach the power supply shuttle to the chassis. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the NI PXIe-1062Q Chassis, for the screw locations. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws. Pull on the two rear handles of the power supply shuttle to remove it from the back of the chassis.

Appendix A Specifications Power disconnect ........The AC power cable provides main power disconnect. The front-panel power switch causes the internal chassis power supply to provide DC power to the CompactPCI/PXI Express backplane. You also can use the rear-panel D-SUB 9-pin connector and power mode switch to control the internal chassis power supply.
