4. Attach the PCIe cable by first pulling back on the retaining ring. With the keyed slot aligned with the keyed ridge on
the PCIe adaptor, insert the cable connector into the cable port connector on the adaptor until the cable locks in
place.
5. Attach the other end of the cable to the PCIe adaptor on your system computer.
If you are using a remote controller, you must power up the chassis BEFORE you power up the PC. When you
power down your solution, shut down the PC BEFORE you power down the chassis.
Module Installation Process Overview
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.
5. Refer to
MIMO Instrument Connections (page 17)
the appropriate details between
6. Holding the module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into an available PXI (or hybrid) slot, as shown in the following
figure.
a. Install the module into the slot of the
chassis by placing the module card edges
into the front module guides (top and bot-
tom).
b. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis
and ensure that the injector/ejector handle
is pushed down in the unlatched (down-
ward) position.
c. Slide the module completely into the
chassis. When you begin to feel resistance,
pull up on the injector/ejector handle to
fully inject the module into the chassis.
7. Secure all modules to the chassis using the module mounting screws. Use a #1 Pozidriv® or a slotted screwdriver and
torque to 5 Lb-In (0.57 N-m). Performance may suffer if the screws are not tightened properly.
8. Install filler panels and slot blockers after installing the modules. Missing filler panels or slot blockers may disrupt air cir-
culation in the chassis. The left-most slot does not accept a slot blocker.
