Removing the Adapter Module
Complete the following steps to remove the adapter module from the FlexRIO FPGA module.
Disabling the Adapter Module in LabVIEW FPGA
To properly remove an adapter module from the FlexRIO FPGA module, you must disable the
adapter module within the LabVIEW FPGA user interface. To disable the adapter module
within LabVIEW, complete the following steps.
1. In your LabVIEW
Project Explorer window, right-click the IO Module item under the
FPGA Target and select Properties to display the IO Module Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Status category to view the adapter module Status dialog.
3. Deselect the checkbox for Enable IO Module Power . When this option is deselected,
firmware tristates the FlexRIO I/O and disables all adapter module power rails.
4. Click OK .
Uninstalling the Module
Caution
If the module has been in use, it may exceed safe handling temperatures
and cause burns. Allow the module to cool before removing it from the chassis.
1. Disconnect any cables from the module front panel connectors.
Caution
Disconnect any external clock or digital connections to the device
front panel. Applying external signals while the device is powered off may
cause damage.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Ground yourself with a grounding strap or touch a grounded metal surface.
4. Unlatch the module by pushing down on the ejector handle.
5. Hold the module by the ejector handle and remove it from the slot.
Store the module in the original antistatic packaging when not in use to avoid damage.
