Keysight M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions Installation Guide 51
Installing Modules 2
5 Slide the module completely into the chassis. When the module’s
backplane connectors contact the chassis backplane, you will feel
resistance and the two handles will begin to close toward each other.
The module’s faceplate will be about 1 cm from the chassis front panel.
6 Continue nudging the module faceplate gently but firmly with your
thumbs, until the handles are pressed up against the chassis and the
module’s front panel lies flush with the chassis’ front panel. This seats
the module firmly in the chassis backplane. If necessary, gently press
inward (toward the chassis) on the handles to ensure full insertion.
7 Tighten the captive retaining screws at both sides of the module.
8 Retract the handle ends by sliding them outward on their metal shafts,
away from each other, toward the chassis edge; this secures them out
of the way of test connections.
9 Repeat steps 3 through 8 for additional modules, as needed. Ensure
that each slot has an instrument module or filler panel installed.
10 Power up the AXIe chassis. Verify that the chassis fans are operating
and free of obstructions that may restrict airflow.
Modules are grounded through the chassis. Tighten the module retaining
screws to ensure a proper ground connection.
Do not operate the chassis without filler panels in empty slots. This is
especially important for the slots on either side of the instrument
module. This allows proper air flow and cooling, and provides EMI
shielding for the chassis and installed components. Leaving slots empty
can increase fan speed, raise ambient noise, overheat components, and
can cause the module to shut down.
