Step 5: Install the DMM Modules in the PXI Chassis
1 Make sure the PXI chassis power is turned off.
2 If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fans are set to
automatic. Do not set the fan speed to low or turn them off.
3 Position the chassis so that there is ample space between the chassis fan
intake and exhaust vents. Blockage by walls or obstructions affects the air flow
needed for cooling. (Refer to the chassis documentation for more information
about cooling).
4 Holding the PXI module by the injector/ejector handle, slide it into an available
PXI (or hybrid) slot, as shown in the following figure.
– Install the module into the PXI slot of the chassis by placing the module
card edges into the front module guides (top and bottom).
– Slide the module to the rear of the chassis and assure that the injector/
ejector handle is pushed down in the unlatched (downward) position.
– PXI hardware does not support “hot-swap” capabilities (changing
modules while power is applied to the chassis).
– Before installing Keysight PXI Modules into the chassis, the chassis must
be powered off and unplugged to prevent damage to the PXI module.
These modules can be used in a chassis with a cPCI, PXI-1, or PXIh
chassis peripheral slot.
The module can be installed in any standard PXI slot marked
with a peripheral slot compatibility image (a circle containing
the slot number).
The module can also be installed in any hybrid PXI slot marked
with a peripheral slot compatibility image (the letter "H" and a
solid circle containing the slot number).
