3. Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in
which you intend to install the PXI MXI-4.
4. Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
5. Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Be sure to remove all connector packaging and protective caps from
retaining screws on the module. Align the PXI MXI-4 card with the
card guides on the top and bottom of the system controller slot.
Caution Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the PXI MXI-4 card. It will
not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not interfere
with the injector rail on the mainframe, as shown in Figure 2-2.
6. Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
7. Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the PXI MXI-4
card should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
8. Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the PXI MXI-4 card to the chassis.
9. Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
Figure 2-2 shows a PXI MXI-4 card just before installation in the system
controller slot of a National Instruments mainframe.
