5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Be sure to remove all connector packaging and protective caps from
retaining screws on the module. Align the NI PXI-8360 with the card
guides on the top and bottom of the system controller slot.
Caution
Do
not
raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI PXI-8360. It will not
insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not interfere
with the injector/ejector rail on the chassis, as shown in Figure 2.
6.
Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
7.
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXI-8360
should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
8.
Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the NI PXI-8360 to the chassis.
9.
Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
Figure 2 shows an NI PXI-8360 just before installation in the system
controller slot of a National Instruments chassis.
