To prevent damage to the VXI instruments being installed,
remove power from the mainframe or set the power switch to
Off or Standby before installing the instruments.
1. Insert the instrument into the mainframe by aligning the instrument
with the card guides inside the mainframe. Slowly push the instru-
ment into the slot until it seats in the backplane connectors. The front
panel of the instrument should be even with the front edges of the
mainframe.
2. Tighten the retaining screws on the top and bottom of the module.
All instruments within the VXI mainframe are grounded through
the mainframe chassis. During installation, tighten the
instruments' retaining screws to secure the instrument to the
mainframe and to make the ground connection.
