Figure 2-4. Installing PXI or CompactPCI Modules
Installing Optional PXI Filler Panels
The PXI filler panels protect the inside of the PXI subsystem by preventing
unwanted material from entering the PXI-1052 chassis and damaging
modules or forming conductive paths that can degrade performance. Install
all PXI modules first, then install PXI filler panels in any unused PXI slots.
Filler panels are the full height of a slot. Complete the following steps to
install PXI filler panels.
1. Place the filler panel with the captive thumbscrews in front of an
unused PXI slot. Line up the thumbscrews with the threaded strip
holes.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, screw the two captive thumbscrews into
the threaded strip holes.
