Page 18: Step 4: Install The Module
• Before installing the M9186A into the chassis, ensure that the chassis is powered off and unplugged to prevent damage to the module. The M9186A module can be used in a chassis with a cPCI, PXI-1, or PXIh N O T E chassis peripheral slot. - Page 19 Keysight M9186A PXI Voltage/Current Source Figure 3 Installing the module to the chassis 5 Hold the module by the injector/ejector handle, and slide it into an available PXI (or hybrid) slot, as shown in Figure • Install the module into the PXI slot of the chassis by placing the module card edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).
- Page 20 Keysight M9186A PXI Voltage/Current Source 10 Install all chassis covers and filler panels after installing the module. Missing filler panels may disrupt necessary air circulation in the chassis. 11 If you are using a remote controller, connect the System Interface Card in the chassis to host computer.
