CAUTION
M5200A PXIe Digitizer Modules Startup Guide
Proceed through this section in the following order:
1
Review
guidelines and precautions.
2
Prepare the PXIe Chassis for the installation process.
3
Install the Controller (embedded or external).
4
Install the PXIe Module.
5
Install slot blockers and filler panels in the empty PXIe chassis slots.
6
Power up the PXIe chassis.
For more information about the appropriate configuration of your single
chassis and multi-chassis systems, visit
www.keysight.com/find/pxie-multichassis.
PXIe hardware does not support "hot-swap" (changing modules while
power is applied to the chassis) capabilities. Before installing or
removing a module to/from the chassis, power down the chassis to
prevent damage to the module.
Best practices for cooling chassis and M5200A module
The following are the recommended best practices to ensure proper and
safe module operating conditions:
•
Ensure that the ambient air temperature around the chassis does not
exceed 40°C.
•
To maintain proper airflow within the chassis, all empty chassis slots
must be fitted with slot blockers (Keysight model Y1212A, 5 per kit) and
EMC filler panels (Keysight model Y1213A, 5 per kit). This includes any
empty slots to the left of slot 1.
•
Ensure that adequate clearance is provided around all chassis vents,
both air intake vents, and air exhaust vents, including any vents at the
bottom of the chassis. For more information, refer to the documentation
associated with the Chassis you are using.
•
Ensure that all the fan filters are clean and unobstructed.
