Getting Started This chapter describes the key features of the NI PXI-1031 and PXI-1031DC chassis, and lists the kit contents and optional equipment you can order from National Instruments. Unpacking Carefully inspect the shipping container and the chassis for damage. Check for visible damage to the metal work.
DC input connector on the rear panel of the chassis. Refer to Figure 1-3 for the location of the DC connector. Key Features The PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC combines a 4-slot PXI backplane with a structural design that has been optimized for maximum usability in a wide range of applications.
Figure 1-2 shows the rear view of the PXI-1031. Figure 1-3 shows the rear panel of the PXI-1031DC. Figure 1-4 shows the bottom of the chassis (both types of chassis will be identical on the bottom).

EMC Filler Panels Optional EMC filler panel kits are available from National Instruments. Rack Mount Kits A rack mount kit option is available for mounting the PXI-1031 or PXI-1031DC chassis into a 19 in. instrument cabinet. Handle/Feet Kit An optional side handle and rubber feet kit is available from National Instruments to provide a handle for portability.
Chapter 1 Getting Started DC Power Cable (PXI-1031DC Only) An optional DC power cable is available from National Instruments to provide power through the DC input connector on the rear panel of the chassis. PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC Backplane Overview Interoperability with CompactPCI The PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC backplane is interoperable with 5 V and universal PXI-compatible products and standard CompactPCI products.
System Reference Clock The PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC supplies the PXI 10 MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10) independently to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot.
Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to install, configure, and use the PXI-1031 and PXI-1031DC chassis. Before connecting the chassis to a power source, read this chapter and the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document included with your chassis.
Part Replacement—Only service this equipment with parts that are exact replacements, both electrically and mechanically. Contact National Instruments for replacement part information. Installation of parts with those that are not direct replacements may cause harm to personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may occur if replacement parts are unsuitable.
Installation and Configuration 1 Air Outlets 2 Air Intake Figure 2-1. PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC Module Cooling Airflow Side View Install the chassis so that you can easily access the bottom panel. This simplifies replacing the air filters, if necessary. Setting Fan Speed The AUTO/HIGH fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the PXI-1031 and PXI-1031DC.
You may want to remove the feet from the chassis when rack mounting. To do so, remove the screws holding the feet in place. Connecting Safety Ground The PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC chassis is designed with a three-position inlet that Caution connects the cord set ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.
Connecting to an AC Power Source Attach input power through the rear AC inlet using the appropriate AC power cable supplied. Refer to Figure 1-2, Rear View of the PXI-1031 Chassis, or to Figure 1-3, Rear View of the PXI-1031DC Chassis, to locate the AC inlet.
Refer to the NI PXI-1031DC DC Cable Kit Installation Guide for information on fuse installation. Note You can purchase an optional DC cable from National Instruments that incorporates an in-line fuse and the mating connector for the P1 port. Installing a PXI Controller This section contains general instructions for installing a PXI controller in the chassis.

“pre-allocates” a trigger line to prevent its configuration by a user program. Dynamic reservation/routing/deallocation is performed on the fly within a user program based upon National Instruments APIs such as NI-DAQmx. Static reservation of trigger lines can be implemented by the user in MAX through the Triggers tab.
