Chassis Uses
Before you configure the chassis, decide whether you are going to use it in
multiplexed mode or parallel mode.
In multiplexed mode, analog input (AI) channels are multiplexed into one
module output so that the cabled E Series DAQ device has access to the
multiplexed output of the module and the outputs of all other multiplexed
modules in the chassis.
In parallel mode, you need a separate E Series DAQ device for each module
to send each of its output channels directly to a separate AI channel of the
E Series DAQ device connected to the module.

Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis
Configuring the SCXI Chassis
Configuring the chassis involves selecting a chassis or high-level data link
control (HDLC) address, line voltage, and fuse value on any chassis.
Note Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document
before removing equipment covers or connecting or disconnecting any signal wires.
Selecting Chassis Addresses
These sections provide information about how to select addresses for the
SCXI chassis.
SCXI-1000/1001
Unless you are using multiple chassis and need to configure one or more
SCXI chassis for a different address, you can skip this section, and the
SCXI chassis retains factory-default address of 0.
you can connect multiple SCXI chassis to the same control source. The five
switches on the front panel of Slot 0 determine the chassis address.
Switches one through five represent the values 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16, when set
to the ON position. When set to the OFF position, their value is zero. The
chassis address is the sum of the switch values. Figure 2-7 shows examples
of both the factory-default setting of the chassis address 0 and the switch
setting for chassis address 19.
Note SCXI-1000 chassis through revision D do not have address jumpers or switches and
respond to any address, but you cannot use them in multichassis systems. Revision E
chassis use jumpers on Slot 0 for chassis addressing. Revision F and later chassis use a DIP
switch for chassis addressing.
SCXI-1001 chassis through revision D use jumpers on Slot 0 for chassis addressing.
Revision E and later chassis use a DIP switch for chassis addressing.

Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis
Selecting Voltage and Replacing the Fuse for the SCXI-1000
and SCXI-1001
If you ordered the chassis with the appropriate part number (the -0x
extension of the kit part number corresponds to your geographical region),
the voltage tumbler and fuse are correct for operation in your geographical
region. Check the voltage on the voltage tumbler to ensure that you have
the correct voltage tumbler setting and fuse.
The SCXI chassis can operate with line voltages of 100, 120, 220, and
240 VAC. The voltage tumbler in the power entry module determines the
voltage for which the chassis is configured. You can identify the operating
voltage by looking at the number on the power entry module when the door
that covers the tumbler is closed. The fuse is 5 × 20 mm, which has a
current rating relative to the operating voltage. Table 2-4 shows the proper
voltage selections and fuse ratings for different regions.
Caution For continued protection, replace fuses only with fuses of the same type and
rating.

Replacing and Checking Backplane Fuses on the
SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001
In addition to the power entry module fuse, the analog supply lines on the
backplane are fused at 1.5 A on the SCXI-1000 chassis and at 4 A on the
SCXI-1001 chassis.
If you are making your own modules, fuse the module at 250 mA to avoid
blowing the backplane fuses. Fusing the module also better protects the
module because a failure can result in a large amount of current drawn, but
not enough current drawn to blow the backplane fuses.
On the SCXI-1000, the backplane fuses are located behind the fan. On the
SCXI-1001, the backplane fuses are located behind the right-hand fan, near
the power entry module, as viewed from the rear of the chassis.

Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis
Complete the following steps to check or replace fuses:
1. Remove the appropriate fan and filter from the rear of the chassis by
following the instructions in the Maintaining the Fan Filter section.
Make sure to switch the power off and remove the power cord.
2. The fuse marked with a copper + on the backplane is for the positive
analog supply, and the fuse marked with a copper – is for the negative
analog supply. To check whether a fuse is blown, connect an ohmmeter
across the leads. If the reading is not approximately 0 Ω, replace
the fuse.
3. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, carefully extract the fuse.
4. Take a new fuse and bend its leads so the component is 12.7 mm
(0.5 in.) long, the dimension between the fuse sockets, and clip the
leads to a length of 6.4 mm (0.25 in.).
5. Using the needle-nose pliers, insert the fuse into the socket holes.
6. Repeat, if necessary, for the other fuse.
7. Check the fan filter and, if it is dirty, clean it as described in the
Maintaining the Fan Filter section.
8. Reinstall the fan and filter.
Replacing the Fuses on the SCXI-1000DC
There are two fuses located on the rear panel of the SCXI-1000DC. The
input power fuse (F1) is a 6.3 A, 5 × 20 mm time-lag fuse. The internal
+5 VDC supply is fused by a 3.15 A, 5 × 20 mm time-lag fuse (F2).
Replacing the Power Entry Fuse and +5 VDC Fuse
Caution For continued protection against fire, replace fuses only with fuses of the same
type and rating.
Complete the following steps to replace the rear panel fuses:

Replacing and Checking Backplane Fuses
In addition to the power entry and the +5 V supply fuses, the analog supply
lines on the backplane are fused at 1.5 A on the SCXI-1000DC chassis.
If you design a special/prototype module, use the SCXI-1181 module and
fuse the module at 250 mA to avoid blowing the analog backplane and
+5 V supply fuses. Fusing the module better protects the module because a
failure can result in a large amount of current drawn, but not enough to blow
the backplane and +5 V fuses.
On the SCXI-1000DC, the backplane fuses are located behind the fan.
Complete the following steps to check or replace fuses:
1. Remove the appropriate fan and filter from the rear of the chassis by
following the instructions in the Maintaining the Fan Filter section.
Be sure to switch the power off and remove the power cord.
2. The fuse marked with a copper + on the backplane is for the positive
analog supply, and the fuse marked with a copper – is for the negative
analog supply. To check whether a fuse is blown, connect an ohmmeter
across the leads. If the reading is not approximately 0 Ω, replace the
fuse.
3. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, carefully extract the fuse.
4. Take a new fuse and bend its leads so the component is 12.7 mm
(0.5 in.) long, the dimension between the fuse sockets, and clip the
leads to a length of 6.4 mm (0.25 in.).
5. Using the needle-nose pliers, insert the fuse into the socket holes.
6. Repeat, if necessary, for the other fuse.

Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis
Installing Rear Panels
Complete the following steps to install rear panels:
1. Place the panel at the rear of the chassis between the two threaded
strips. Align the panel so that the serial number faces into the chassis
and the screw holes are on the right.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, screw the two screws through the rear
panel into the threaded strip holes.
Maintaining the Fan Filter
The brushless fan(s) on the rear of the SCXI chassis cool the chassis and
modules. To keep the fan effective, the fan filter(s) must be clean. Dust and
dirt accumulation reduces airflow, making the inside of the chassis hotter,
shortening the life of the chassis and modules. Complete the following
steps to clean the fan filter(s):
1. Power off the chassis.
2. Remove the power cord from the power entry module.
3. Place the chassis face down on a flat surface so that the fan is on top.
If the chassis is so heavily cabled that you cannot easily place it in this
position, leave the chassis as it is, but be careful to support the fan
during removal and reinstallation to avoid breaking the fan wires.
4. Remove the fan filter. Remove the four screws that secure the fan and
filter to the rear of the chassis. When removing the last screw, be
careful to hold the fan to avoid breaking the fan wires.
5. Clean the fan filter by moving the filter around under a gentle stream
of cold tap water until all the dust is removed. Dry the filter.
6. Replace the fan filter by aligning the fan and filter with the fan holes,
making sure that the label side of the fan is face down. Reinstall the
four screws and make sure the assembly is secure.

Common Questions
My chassis worked fine until I inadvertently removed and reinserted a
module while the chassis was on. Now my chassis does not power on.
What can I do?
SCXI modules are not hot swapable, so you may have blown a fuse. Refer
to Chapter 2, Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis, for information
on fuse replacement. If replacing the fuse does not correct the problem, you
may have damaged the digital bus circuitry or the SCXI module. Please
contact NI Technical Support at ni.com/support for assistance.
My chassis power is on, my modules are configured for multiplexed
mode, and I am not getting good data. All the channels read the same
voltage even though I know I am putting different voltages into each
channel. What is causing this problem?
The SCXI chassis has backplane fuses. One or both of these fuses could be
blown. Refer to the Replacing and Checking Backplane Fuses on the
SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001 section of Chapter 2, Configuring and
Installing the SCXI Chassis, for fuse replacement information.
Can I programmatically detect whether or not my chassis is
powered on?
Not exactly. You can determine whether or not you can communicate with
configured modules through SCXI_ModuleID_Read in NI-DAQ or using
a LabVIEW VI that you can obtain from ni.com/express by entering the
info code rdtscp.
My chassis will not power on. What should I check?
Check the to make sure the power cord is attached and connected to a power
source. Look at the voltage selection tumbler above the power cord
receptacle and make sure it is set to the correct voltage. Make sure the
power switch is powered on. Verify that the main power fuse is good.
