Installation Instructions
To mount the chassis in an instrument rack, complete the following steps.
1.
Remove the bottom feet from the PXIe-1090 chassis by unscrewing them with a #2 Phillips
driver. Retain the feet and screws for future use, if needed. Reinstallation torque is
0.76 N m (6.7 lb in.).
2.
Install the PXIe-1090 chassis on the shelf as shown in Figure 1, using four #6-32 x 0.500 in.
flathead screws provided. Tighten the screws to 0.76 N m (6.7 lb in.) of torque with a
#2 Phillips driver.
Caution
