System Reference Clock The NI PXIe-1071 chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 to every peripheral slot with an independent driver for each signal. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 500 ps between slots) drives PXI_CLK10 to each peripheral slot.
Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to prepare and operate the NI PXIe-1071 chassis. Before connecting the chassis to a power source, read this chapter and the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included with your kit.
Unsuitable modifications may result in safety hazards. Chassis Cooling Considerations The NI PXIe-1071 chassis is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. Regardless of the configuration, you must provide the cooling clearances as outlined in the following sections.
Refer to Figure A-3, NI Chassis Rack Mount Kit Components. You may want to remove the feet from the NI PXIe-1071 chassis when rack Note mounting. To do so, remove the screws holding the feet in place. NI PXIe-1071 User Manual ni.com...
Connecting Safety Ground Caution The NI PXIe-1071 chassis is designed with a three-position inlet that 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.
