If you are using a PXI Express chassis, you can place PXI devices in the PXI slots. If a PXI device is
hybrid slot compatible, you can use the PXI Express Hybrid slots. PXI Express devices can be placed
only in PXI Express slots and PXI Express Hybrid slots. Refer to the chassis documentation for details.
Tip
PXI NI FlexRIO FPGA modules are compatible with PXI slots and PXI Express Hybrid slots.
PXIe NI FlexRIO FPGA modules are compatible with PXI Express slots and PXI Express Hybrid
slots. National Instruments does not recommend using NI FlexRIO FPGA modules in PXI Express
System Timing slots because the boards do not have timing features.
3.
Remove the filler panel of an unused PXI/PXI Express slot.
4.
Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge any static electricity.
5.
Place the PXI/PXI Express module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the
chassis, and slide the module into the chassis until the module is fully inserted, as shown in
Figure 3.

6.
Secure the device front panel to the chassis front panel mounting rail using the front-panel
mounting screws.
7.
Plug in and power on the PXI/PXI Express chassis.
Confirming the Device is Recognized
To confirm that the device is recognized, complete the following additional steps:
1.
Select
Start»All Programs»National Instruments»Measurement & Automation
to open
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
2.
Expand
Devices and Interfaces
.
3.
Verify that the device appears under
Devices and Interfaces»RIO Devices
.
Installing the NI 1483
Complete the following steps to connect the NI FlexRIO adapter module to the NI FlexRIO FPGA
module.
1.
Gently insert the guide pins and the high-density card edge of the NI 1483 into the corresponding
connectors of the NI FlexRIO FPGA module, as shown in Figure 4. The connection may be tight,
but do not force the adapter module into place.
