Installing the PXI-6533You can install a PXI-6533 in any available 5V peripheral slot in your
PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
Note: The PXI-6533 has connections to several reserved lines on the
CompactPCI J2 connector. Before installing a PXI-6533 in a CompactPCI
system that uses J2 connector lines for purposes other than PXI, see Using
PXI with CompactPCI in Chapter1, Introduction, of this manual.
1. Turn off and unplug your PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
2. Choose an unused PXI or CompactPCI 5V peripheral slot. For
maximum performance, install the PXI-6533 in a slot that supports
bus arbitration, or bus-master cards. The PXI-6533 contains
onboard bus-master DMA logic that can operate only in such a slot.
If you choose a slot that does not support bus masters, you will have
to disable the onboard DMA controller using your software. PXI-
compliant chassis must have bus arbitration for all slots.
3. Remove the filler panel for the peripheral slot you have chosen.
4. Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static
electricity that might be on your clothes or body.
5. Insert the PXI-6533 in the selected 5V slot. Use the injector/ejector
handle to fully inject the device into place.
6. Screw the front panel of the PXI-6533 to the front panel mounting
rails of the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
