Installing the PXIe-7903

This section contains general installation instructions for installing the PXIe-7903 in a PXI Express chassis.

Note The PXIe-7903 requires a chassis with a slot cooling capacity of 82 W. Refer to chassis specifications to determine the ambient temperature ranges your chassis can achieve.

Refer to your chassis user manual for specific instructions and warnings. To install the module, complete the following steps:

  1. Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before installing the module. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.
  2. Ensure that the chassis is powered off.
  3. Install the PXIe-7903 into a chassis slot by first placing the module card PCB into the front of the card guides (top and bottom), as shown in the following figure. Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the injector/ejector handle is pushed down, as shown in the following figure.
  4. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to fully seat the module into the chassis frame. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the module front-panel mounting screws.
