Replacing the Termination Resistors
Follow these steps to replace the termination resistors, after you have
determined the correct value in the previous section, Determining the
Necessary Termination Resistance for Your Board.
1. Remove the termination resistors on your PXI-8460. FigureC-5 shows
the location of the termination resistor sockets on a PXI-8460.
