Caution The PXIe-1092 chassis has been designed to accept a variety of peripheral module types in different slots. To prevent damage to the chassis, ensure that the peripheral module is being installed into a slot designed to accept it.
Note Refer to your module user manual for specific instructions and warnings.

This section contains general installation instructions for installing a peripheral module in a PXIe-1092 chassis. To install a 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. 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.
  4. To prevent damage to the chassis, ensure that you are installing the module in the correct type of slot. Refer to the Chassis Parts section for the slot descriptions.
  5. Install the module into the chassis slot by first placing the module card PCB into the front of the card guides (top and bottom), as shown in the following figure. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down.
