Before installing the CXA-m module into a PXI express chassis, please read all the
safety information carefully and make sure the chassis is in a proper condition as
below.

• Set chassis fans to high or auto. Do not disable fans.
• Position chassis to allow plenty of space around chassis air intake and fan
• At environment temperatures above 45°C, set chassis fan speed to high.
