Note Refer to your module user manual for specific instructions and warnings.
The following section contains installation instructions for installing a multiple-slot wide
peripheral module that expands to the right in a PXIe-1092 chassis utilizing the peripheral
expansion slot. To install a multiple-slot module, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before installing the module.
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Remove the cover panel from the peripheral expansion slot.
4. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bending or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.
5. To prevent damage to the chassis, ensure that you are installing the multiple slot
peripheral module in the correct type of slot. Refer to the PXIe-1092 Backplane Overview
section for the slot descriptions.
6. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module so that the right-most portion of
the multiple-slot peripheral module will occupy the slot peripheral expansion slot.
7. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to seat the
module fully into the chassis frame. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using
the module front-panel mounting screws.
Note Do not install a single-slot wide peripheral module in the
peripheral expansion slot as it will not be functional.
