Description
The NI PXI Filler Panel is an essential component designed to cover unoccupied slots in 4 and 6 slot PXI Chassis, effectively preventing the ingress of contaminants and improving cooling performance. The panels, identified by part numbers 778933-01, 778679-01, 778646-01, and 778700-01, are equipped with captive mounting screws to facilitate straightforward installation.
Among these, the PXI EMC Filler Panel Kit (Part Number: 778700-01) stands out by including six panels complemented with additional gaskets designed to reduce electromagnetic emissions. This special kit, along with the other filler panels, adheres to the IEEE Specification 1101.10 for compliance.
Installing these filler panels is a simple two-step process: first, remove the captive screw covers, and then secure the filler panels to the chassis, ensuring the EMC gasket is positioned correctly. There are various configurations available, such as part number 778933-01 for 4- and 6-Slot Chassis, 778679-01 which includes 3 Double- and 3-Single-Slot Panels, and 778646-01 that accommodates 17 slots.
For safety, it is recommended that the installation of the NI PXI Filler Panels be performed with the chassis powered off to protect both the device and the operator.
