Setting Up Your Fiber-Optic MXI-Express for PXI Express
Note
The NI PCIe-8375 requires a host computer with a PCI Express clock that complies
with the
PCI Express Specification
. The NI PCIe-8375 may not be compatible with
systems using noncompliant clocks, particularly systems with clocks whose frequency
peaks at more than 100 MHz. Refer to the NI PCIe-8375 Web page on
ni.com
for more
information.
5.
Locate the metal bracket that covers the cut-out in the back panel of
the computer for the slot you have selected. Remove and save the
bracket-retaining screw and the bracket cover.
6.
Line up the NI PCIe-8375 with the slot on the back panel. Slowly lower
the NI PCIe-8375 until its card-edge connector is resting on the
expansion slot receptacle. Using slow, evenly distributed pressure,
press the NI PCIe-8375 straight down until it seats in the expansion
slot, as shown in Figure 1.
7.
Reinstall the bracket-retaining screw to secure the NI PCIe-8375 to the
back panel rail.
8.
Replace the computer cover.
