Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment you are using the ATCA-3671 in meets the following
specifications.

Ambient temperature range
(IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2)

0 °C to 40 °C

Operating temperature range

Used with a Single-Module ATCA
Chassis

0 °C to 25 °C

Used with a 14-Slot ATCA Chassis

Dependent on final system installation

Note

 

Operating temperatures are valid only when the ATCA-3671 module is used

with the specified chassis.

Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-56)

10% to 90% RH, noncondensing

Pollution Degree

2

Maximum altitude

2,000 m at 25 °C ambient temperature

Indoor use only.

Caution

 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the AIO-3681/3682 and

AIO-3691. To prevent damage, use industry-standard ESD prevention measures
during installation, maintenance, and operation.

Installing the Software

You must be an Administrator to install NI software on your computer.
1.

Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW.

2.

If you chose to install LabVIEW in step 1, install LabVIEW FPGA.

3.
