NI PXI-1006 Power Supply Shuttle
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.

Installation and Maintenance
The information in this section is for qualified service personnel only.
Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference
document included with your kit before using the power supply shuttle.
Caution Many components within the PXI-1006 chassis under repair are susceptible to
static discharge damage. Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe
standard handling precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis.
Always wear a grounded wrist strap, or equivalent, while servicing the chassis.
Caution Always disconnect the AC power cable before cleaning or servicing the chassis.

Caution Never connect the AC power cable to the power supply shuttle until you install it
in a PXI-1006 chassis. Do not use, test, or configure the power supply shuttle outside of a
chassis.
The power supply shuttle is a replacement part for the PXI-1006 chassis.

The chassis includes a hardcopy of the NI PXI-1006 User Manual.
Additionally, you can download a softcopy from ni.com/support.
Removal
Before attempting to replace the power supply shuttle, verify that there is
adequate clearance behind the chassis. Set the power switch on the front
panel to the Standby position and disconnect the power cable from the
power supply shuttle on the back of the chassis. Identify the ten mounting
screws that attach the power supply shuttle to the chassis. Refer to Figure 1
for the mounting screw locations. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the
captive screws. Pull on the two rear handles of the power supply shuttle to
remove it from the back of the chassis.
Installation
Ensure that there is no visible damage to the new power supply shuttle.
Verify that the housing and connector on the new power supply shuttle
have no foreign material inside. Install the new power supply shuttle into
the opening on the rear of the chassis. Tighten the ten mounting screws with
a Phillips screwdriver.
Configuration
The fan-speed selector switch is on the rear panel of the power supply
shuttle. Refer to Figure 1 to locate the fan-speed selector switch. Select HI
for maximum cooling performance (recommended) or AUTO for quieter
operation.

Connecting Safety Ground
Caution The power supply shuttle is designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 jack that
connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To minimize shock hazard, make sure the
electrical power outlet you use to power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.
If your power outlet does not have an appropriate ground connection, you
must connect the premise safety ground to the chassis ground screw. Refer
to Figure 1 to locate the chassis ground screw. Complete the following
steps to connect the safety ground.
1. Connect a 16 AWG (1.3 mm) wire to the chassis ground screw using a
grounding lug. The wire must have green insulation with a yellow
stripe or must be noninsulated (bare).
2. Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using
toothed washers or a toothed lug.
