Installing M8050A Module(s)
The M9505A/M9506A AXIe chassis and M8050A module(s) will come in
separate shipments. This section shows how to carefully insert a module in
an empty slot of an M9505A/M9506A AXIe chassis. The slots are identified
by the slot numbers written on the front panel of the chassis.
The procedures in this section are not required if your system is an
M8050A-BU2, M8050A-BU3, M8050A-BU4, or M8050A-BU5 which
have their modules pre-installed.
If you plan to use the M9537A AXIe Embedded Controller as the host
computer, then you must reserve slot 1 of the chassis for this module’s
installation.
• The instrument modules are not hot swappable. You must power
down the AXIe chassis and host PC before inserting, replacing, or
removing a module.
• The enclosure surface of the instrument module may become hot
during use. If you need to remove the module, first power down the
AXIe chassis, allow the module to cool, and then pull the module out
of the chassis.
