with information about the system controller to create a single system initialization file called
pxisys.ini (PXI System Initialization). The system controller manufacturer either provides
a pxisys.ini file for the particular chassis model that contains the system controller or
provides a utility that can read an arbitrary chassis.ini file and generate the corresponding
pxisys.ini file. System controllers from NI provide the pxisys.ini file for the
PXIe-1088 chassis, so you should not need to use the chassis.ini file. Refer to the
documentation provided with the system controller or to ni.com/support for more
information on pxisys.ini and chassis.ini files.
Device drivers and other utility software read the pxisys.ini file to obtain system
information. The device drivers should have no need to directly read the chassis.ini file.
For detailed information regarding initialization files, refer to the PXI Express specification at
www.pxisa.org.
Maintenance
This section describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXIe-1088
chassis.
Caution Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing your PXIe-1088 chassis.
Service Interval
Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating
environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability.
Preparation
The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service personnel. Read the
Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included with your kit
before attempting any procedures in this section.
Caution Many components within the chassis are susceptible to static discharge
damage. Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe standard
handling precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis. Always
wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while servicing the chassis.
Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis and cleaning the
fan filters. Refer to your module's user documentation for information about cleaning
individual CompactPCI or PXI Express modules.
Caution Always disconnect the power cable prior to servicing the chassis.
