6. Selection Recommendations
- Slot Requirements: Choose the PXIE-1082 for large-scale systems needing 18 slots; consider the PXIE-1085 for 21 slots.
- Power Needs: Opt for redundant power supplies if system downtime is critical.
- Environment: Ensure adequate airflow in enclosed racks to maintain optimal cooling.
7. Precautions
- Installation: Ground the chassis to prevent ESD damage and follow proper rack-mounting torque specifications.
- Module Mixing: Avoid combining high-power and low-power modules in adjacent slots to balance thermal load.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly update NI drivers to ensure compatibility with new modules and security patches.
