Hardware Installation
You can install the SCXI-1161 in any available SCXI chassis. After you
have made any necessary changes and have verified and recorded the
jumper settings on the form in Appendix C, Customer Communication,
you are ready to install the SCXI-1161. The following are general
installation instructions; consult the user manual or technical reference
manual of your SCXI chassis for specific instructions and warnings.
1. Turn off the computer that contains the data acquisition board or
disconnect the data acquisition board from your SCXI chassis.
2. Turn off the SCXI chassis. Do not insert the SCXI-1161 into a
chassis that is turned on.
3. After you have connected your signals to the screw terminals, insert
the SCXI-1161 into the board guides. Gently guide the module into
the back of the slot until the connectors make good contact. If you
have already installed a cable assembly in the rear of the chassis,
you must firmly engage the module and cable assembly; however,
do not force the module into place.
4. Screw the front mounting panel of the SCXI-1161 to the top and
bottom threaded strips of your SCXI chassis.
Note: If you will connect this module to an MIO-16 or a DIO-24 data acquisition
board, attach the connector at the metal end of the SCXI-1340 cable
assembly to the rear signal connector on the SCXI-1161 module. Screw the
rear panel to the rear threaded strip. Attach the loose end of the cable to
the data acquisition board. For installation procedures with other SCXI
accessories and data acquisition boards, consult the cable installation
guide of your cable.
5. Check the installation.
6. Turn on the SCXI chassis.
7. Turn on the computer or reconnect the data acquisition board to
your chassis.
