PXI system. 2.2.4 Replacing the Battery Backup The PXIe-3987/3977/3937 is provided with a 3.0 V “coin cell” lith- ium battery, replacement of which is as follows. 1. Turn off the PXI chassis. 2. Remove the PXIe controller from the chassis. Observe all anti-static precautions.
PXIe-3987/3977/3937 4. Place a fresh identical battery (CR2032 or equivalent) in the socket, ensuring that the positive pole (+) is facing upwards. The battery is most easily seated by first being inserted under the positive retaining clip, and then pushed downward at the negative retaining clip. The bat- tery should easily snap into position.
