1.
Power off and unplug your PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
2.
Choose an unused PXI or CompactPCI 5 V peripheral slot.
Tip
For maximum performance of your CompactPCI system, install the NI PXI-653
X
in
a slot that supports bus arbitration or bus-master cards. The NI PXI-653
X
contains onboard
bus-master direct memory access (DMA) logic that can operate only in such a slot. If you
install the device in a slot that does not support bus masters, you must disable the
NI PXI-653
X
onboard DMA controller using your software. PXI-compliant chassis 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.

Insert the NI PXI-653

into a 5 V slot. Use the injector/ejector handle
to fully inject the device into place.

Screw the front panel of the NI PXI-653
X
to the front panel mounting
rails of the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.

other boards or components and is fully in the slot.

Plug in and power on the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
You are now ready to configure your NI 653
