Installing the NI 5650/5651/5652
Caution To prevent damage to the device caused by ESD or contamination, handle
the device using the edges or the metal bracket.
You must install NI-RFSG before installing the hardware.
Before you install the hardware, refer to the guidelines in the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling
Note to Users included with the module to ensure that the chassis can cool the device
effectively.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module. The
AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.
4. Remove the black plastic connectors from all the captive screws on the module front
panel.
5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that
indicate the slot types.

Installing the SMA Cables
To use the NI 5650/5651/5652 with other devices, you must make connections using SMA
cables. For best results when connecting signals to the NI 5650/5651/5652 front panel SMA
connectors, use shielded low-loss coaxial cables.
Caution The signal pins of this product's input/output ports can be damaged if
subjected to ESD. To prevent damage, remove power from the product before
connecting cables and employ industry-standard ESD prevention measures during
installation, maintenance, and operation.
1. Connect the cable center pin on the SMA cable to the SMA connector on the appropriate
device.
Note Ensure that the SMA cable center pins properly align with the SMA
connectors to avoid bending the cable pins or damaging the front panel
6| ni.com | NI PXIe-5650/5651/5652 Getting Started Guide

connectors on the device. If the SMA cable does not exactly align with the
SMA connector, bend the cable slightly by hand to align the cable and the
connector. The amount of bending should be minimal. The cables can be
damaged by excessive bending.
2. Hand-tighten the SMA cable end on the SMA connector after the cable center pins are
correctly aligned and connected. The cable connectors should tighten without much
torque or effort. If a cable bends due to incorrect alignment, remove the cable from the
front panel connector and repeat step 1 before continuing with this step.
3. Use an appropriate torque wrench or torque screwdriver and SMA driver bit (not
included) to complete the tightening of the SMA cable to 1 N · m. Rotate the torque
wrench no more than one revolution to tighten the SMA cable before reaching maximum
torque.
Direct Connections to the NI 5650/5651/5652
The NI 5650/5651/5652 is a precision RF instrument that is sensitive to ESD and transients.
Ensure you take the following precautions when making direct connections to the
NI 5650/5651/5652 to avoid damaging the device.
Note Do not apply external signals to the NI 5650/5651/5652. Applying external
signals may cause damage.
• Ensure you are properly grounded when manipulating cables or antennas connected to the
NI 5650/5651/5652.
• If you are using noninsulated devices, such as a noninsulated RF antenna, ensure the
devices are maintained in a static-free environment.
• If you are using an active device, such as a preamplifier or switch routed to the
NI 5650/5651/5652, ensure no signal transients are sourced to the NI 5650/5651/5652.
NI 5650/5651/5652 RF Signal Generator Module
The NI 5650/5651/5652 RF signal generator module contains three connectors and two
