Page 29: Maintenance Information
For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading. - Page 30 A2 to C2 Inner U7 & U8 A3 to C3 U1 & U2 40-183A-011 A4 to C4 U13 & U14 A5 to C5 Outer U7 & U8 A6 to C6 U1 & U2 30A SOLID STATE SPST SWITCH 40-183A Page 7.2...
