Installing PXI Modules
Complete the following steps to install a module.
1. Make sure the power switch is in the Off (Standby) position.
2. Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module card
edges into the front module guides (left and right), as shown in
Figure 2-4. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that
the injector/ejector handle is pushed down as shown in Figure2-2 .
3. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector
handle to fully inject the module into the chassis frame. Secure the
module front panel to the chassis using the module front-panel
mounting screws.
