10. Install all chassis covers and filler panels after installing the RF vector signal analyzer hardware
modules. Missing filler panels disrupt necessary air circulation in the chassis.
Note NI recommends installing slot blockers in adjacent vacant PXI slots to maximize cooling air
flow to the RF vector signal analyzer hardware modules. The PXI Chassis Slot Blocker Kit (part
number 778678-01) is available for purchase at
ni.com.
11. Plug in and power on the PXI chassis.
Figure 2 shows the correct installation of a PXI module into a compatible chassis slot.
Figure 2. PXI Module Installation
Uninstalling PXI Modules
Power off the chassis prior to removing PXI modules. When removing PXI modules from the chassis,
ensure that you are grounded with a grounding strap or are touching a grounded metal surface. To avoid
ESD, do not touch the exposed connector pins or any exposed circuitry on the device. When not in use,
PXI devices should be stored in the original antistatic envelope to avoid damage.
Hot Surface During operation, the metal surfaces of PXI devices may become hot. Be careful when
removing the device from the chassis or when moving it to a different peripheral slot. When removing
the device, hold it by only the ejector handle and front panel.
6. Interconnecting the NI 5660 Modules
The NI 5600 and NI 5620 interconnect through the module front panels. Complete steps 1 through 6
to interconnect the RF vector signal analyzer hardware module front panel connectors, as shown in
Figure 3.
