This chapter explains how to unpack an SCXI-1112 module and install it
into your SCXI chassis.
Your SCXI-1112 module is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent
electrostatic damage to the module. Electrostatic discharge can damage
several components on the module. To avoid such damage while handling
the module, take the following precautions:
• Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your SCXI chassis
before removing the module from the package.
• Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for loose
components or any other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments
if the module appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged
module into your SCXI chassis.
• Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
You can install the SCXI-1112 module in any available SCXI chassis slot.
The following are general installation instructions; consult your SCXI
chassis documentation for specific instructions and warnings:
1. Turn off the computer that contains the DAQ device or disconnect it
from your SCXI chassis.
2. Turn off the SCXI chassis. Do not insert the SCXI-1112 module into a
chassis that is turned on.
3. Insert the SCXI-1112 module into the module guides. Gently push the
module into the slot until the front of the module is flush with the front
of the chassis. If a cable assembly has already been installed in the rear
of the slot, the module and cable assembly must be firmly engaged;
however, do not force the module into place.
