This section contains general installation instructions for installing a PXI Express system controller in a PXIe-1092 chassis.

Note Refer to your PXI Express system controller user manual for specific instructions and warnings.
Caution Be sure the chassis is connected to an AC power source before installing the system controller. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install the controller.
  1. Inspect the slot 1 pins on the chassis backplane for any bending or damage prior to installation. Do not install the system controller if any pins are bent or damaged.
  2. Install the system controller into the system controller slot (slot 1, indicated by the red card guides) by first placing the system controller PCB into the front of the card guides (top and bottom). Slide the system controller to the rear of the chassis, making sure the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in the following figure.

  3. When you begin to feel resistance, pull up on the injector/ejector handle to seat the system controller fully into the chassis frame. Secure the system controller front panel to the chassis using the system controller front panel mounting screws.
  4. Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the appropriate connectors. Connect devices to ports as required by your system configuration.
  5. Power on the chassis. Verify that the system controller boots. If the system controller does not boot, refer to the Troubleshooting section or your system controller user manual.
