User Guide
The NI PXI-1006 power supply shuttle is a replacement part for the
PXI-1006 chassis.
To minimize downtime caused by a power supply failure, the PXI-1006
chassis has a modular power supply shuttle. This power supply shuttle
includes the chassis power supply, cooling fans, and fan-control circuitry.
Key features of the power supply shuttle include the following:
• Universal AC input with automatic voltage and frequency ranging
• Over-current protection through push-reset circuit breaker
• Remote power monitoring and inhibit through a rear-panel connector
• Selectable fan speed
Unpacking
Carefully inspect the shipping container and the power supply shuttle for
damage. Check for visible damage to the metal work. Check to make sure
all handles, hardware, and switches are undamaged. Visually inspect the
inside of the shuttle for any possible damage, debris, or detached
components. If damage appears to have been caused during shipment,
file a claim with the carrier. Retain the packing material for possible
inspection and/or reshipment.
