Hardware Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Fiber-Optic MXI-Express x4 
hardware.

Hardware Installation

The following are general instructions for installing the Fiber-Optic 
MXI-Express x4 cards. Consult your computer user manual or technical 
reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.

Note

The PXI Platform Services software on the 

PXI Platform Services

 CD or driver CD 

included with your PXI Express Fiber-Optic MXI-Express x4 hardware is required to 
provide chassis and controller identification for PXI features such as trigger routing and 
slot detection. The PXI Platform Services software is also included with the NI-DAQmx 
and NI-VISA drivers. For more information, refer to KnowledgeBase 3TJDOND8 at

Installing an NI PCIe-8375

Complete the following steps to install the NI PCIe-8375 in your computer.

1.

Power down the computer and remove the top cover to have access to 
the PCI Express expansion slots.

2.

Touch the metal part of the power supply case inside the computer to 
discharge any static electricity that might be on your clothes or body. 
Adhere to proper ESD precautions described in the 

Unpacking

 section 

of Chapter 1, 

Introduction

.

3.

Unplug the computer.

Caution

To protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, your computer 

should remain off until you finish installing the NI PCIe-8375.

4.

Select any available PCI Express expansion slot (x4 or wider).

Note

Using a PCI Express slot wider than x4 may result in negotiation down to x1 width.
