Compliance FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference Compliance* Determining FCC Class The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only) or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). Depending on where it is operated, this product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules.
Canadian Department of Communications This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada. European Union - Compliance to EEC Directives Readers in the EU/EEC/EEA must refer to the Manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for information** pertaining to the CE Mark compliance scheme.

About This Manual • PXI-1006 User Manual IEEE 1101.10 and P1101.11, IEEE Standard for Additional Mechanical Specifications for Microcomputers Using IEEE 1101.1 Equipment Practice x ni.
For Your Safety Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance, or exploratory procedure, carefully read the warning and caution notices. Caution This equipment contains voltage hazardous to human life and safety, and can inflict personal injury. • Chassis Grounding—The PXI-1006 requires a connection from the premise wire safety ground to the PXI-1006 chassis ground. The earth safety ground must be connected during use of this equipment to minimize shock hazards.
Installing and Verifying Operation 1 This chapter describes how to unpack the PXI-1006, install a controller, and verify that the chassis is operating correctly. Unpacking the PXI-1006 and Installing a Controller This installation example assumes you are using an embedded PXI controller. 1. Unpack your PXI-1006 chassis. 2. Make sure the power switch is in the Standby (Off) position. 3. Plug in the AC power cord.
Chapter 1 Installing and Verifying Operation 4. Install your controller in Slot 1 of your PXI-1006.

2 PXI-1006 Features This chapter describes the key features of the PXI-1006 chassis and lists optional equipment you can order from National Instruments. Key Features The PXI-1006 combines a high-performance 18-slot PXI backplane with a high-output power supply and a structural design that has been optimized for maximum usability in a wide range of applications. The chassis’ modular design ensures the highest level of maintainability resulting in a very low mean time to repair (MTTR).
Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features PXI-1006 Backplane Overview Interoperability with CompactPCI The PXI-1006 backplane is interoperable with PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products. This is an important feature, as many PXI-compatible systems may require components that do not implement PXI-specific features. For example, you may want to use a standard CompactPCI network interface card in a PXI chassis.

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features System Controller Slot The System Controller slot is Slot 1 of the chassis as defined by the PXI specification. It has three controller expansion slots, which are used for system controller modules that are wider than one slot. As defined in the PXI specification, these slots allow the controller to expand to the left to prevent the controller from using up peripheral slots. Star Trigger Slot The Star Trigger (ST) slot is Slot 2.

Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features Trigger Bus The PXI-1006 has three PXI segments. Vertical bars represent the segment divisions on the front of the chassis. (See Figure 2-1 for the segment divider locations.) The PXI trigger bus is divided into three separate trigger buses at these locations. You can use the trigger lines in a variety of ways. For example, you can use triggers to synchronize the operation of several different PXI peripheral modules.
Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features Remote Power Monitoring and Inhibiting Interface The PXI-1006 chassis supports remote power monitoring and inhibiting via a 9-pin D-sub connector located on the rear panel. Table 2-1 shows the pinout of the DB-9 connector. Table 2-1. DB-9 Connector Pinout DB-9 Pin Signal 1 Logic Ground 2 +5 V 3 Reserved 4 +3.
Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features Using the Power Monitoring Feature You can use a digital voltmeter to ensure all voltage levels in your PXI-1006 are within the allowable limits. When connecting digital voltmeter probes to the rear D-sub connector, be careful not to short the probe leads together. Doing so could damage the power supply. Caution Referring to Table 2-2, connect one lead of the voltmeter to a supply pin on the remote power monitoring connector (9-pin D-sub) on the rear panel.
Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features Installing Filler Panels To optimize module cooling performance, install filler panels into unused or empty slots. Secure with the captive mounting screws. Using the Chassis Initialization File To assist system integrators, the PXI specification requires manufacturers of PXI chassis and system modules to document the capabilities of their products. The minimum documentation requirements are contained in .ini files, which consist of ASCII text.
Chapter 2 PXI-1006 Features Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning. Use just enough moisture to dampen the cloth. Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while cleaning the chassis. Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the chassis. Avoid chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
3 Troubleshooting This chapter describes basic troubleshooting procedures you can perform on the PXI-1006 chassis. Troubleshooting the PXI-1006 Refer to Table 3-1 to troubleshoot the PXI-1006 chassis. The table lists possible causes for power failure and recommends ways to correct the problem. Table 3-1. Troubleshooting Possible Cause What to Do PXI-1006 chassis is not connected to power source. Make sure that the PXI-1006 is connected to a live electrical outlet.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 3. Depress the circuit breaker to reset it. 4. Reconnect the AC line cord. 5. Turn the power switch to the On position. If the circuit breaker trips again, complete the following steps: PXI-1006 User Manual 1. Turn the front panel power switch to the Standby position. 2. Disconnect the chassis from the AC mains power source. 3. Remove all modules from the chassis. 4.
