PXI-1408
You can install a PXI-1408 in any available 5 V peripheral slot in your
PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
Note:
The PXI-1408 has connections to several reserved lines on the
CompactPCI J2 connector. Before installing a PXI-1408 in a CompactPCI
system that uses J2 connector lines for purposes other than PXI, see Using
PXI with CompactPCI, in Chapter 1, Introduction, of this manual.
1.
Turn off and unplug your PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
2.
Choose an unused PXI or CompactPCI 5 V peripheral slot. Install
the PXI-1408 in a slot that supports bus arbitration or bus-master
cards. PXI-compliant chassis must have bus arbitration for all slots.
3.
Remove the filler panel for the peripheral slot you have chosen.
4.
Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static
electricity that might be on your clothes or body.
