Introduction to the PXIe Chassis Chassis Maintenance and Inspection
Static-safe Handling Procedures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can
damage or destroy electronic
components. Use a static-safe work
station to perform at work on electronic
assemblies. The figure shows a
static-safe work station using two types
of ESD protection:
- Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap
combination
- Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap
combination
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of
the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD
protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories
must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground.
The weight of an empty M9018B or M9019A PXIe chassis (no
modules installed in the chassis) is approximately 29.8 lbs (13.5
kg). Lift the chassis using a single side handle only when the
total chassis weight (chassis plus installed modules) does not
exceed 75 lbs (34.0 kg). Otherwise use both side handles to lift
the chassis.
The M9010A chassis weighs 30.91 lbs (14.02 kg).
Installing modules in the chassis may increase its weight to a
point where two people are required to lift the chassis. If two
people are not available, use a mechanical lift to lift the chassis.
The chassis should be transported using a rolling cart.
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500
volts.
