Installing Peripheral Modules
Caution The NI PXIe-1075 chassis has been designed to accept a variety of peripheral
module types in different slots. To prevent damage to the chassis, ensure that the peripheral
module is being installed into a slot designed to accept it. Refer to Chapter 1,
Getting
Started , for a description of the various slot types.
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a
peripheral module in a NI PXIe-1075 chassis. Refer to your peripheral
module user manual for specific instructions and warnings. To install a
module, complete the following steps:
1. Inspect the slot for any physical damage or bent pins before installing
the peripheral module.
2. Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before
installing the module. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and
protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.
3. Ensure that the chassis is powered off.
4. Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module card
PCB into the front of the card guides (top and bottom), as shown in
Figure 2-5. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that
the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure 2-5.
5. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector
handle to fully seat the module into the chassis frame. Secure the
module front panel to the chassis using the module front-panel
mounting screws.
