autorun.exe

.

6. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts.

Note

 

Windows users may see access and security messages during

installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.

Note

 

The default installation installs NI LabVIEW Instrument Design

Libraries for Vector Signal Transceivers, NI-RFmx, NI-RFSA, and NI-RFSG.

7. When the installer completes, select 

Restart

 in the dialog box that prompts you to restart,

shut down, or restart later.

Installing the NI 5644R

Caution

 

To prevent damage to the NI 5644R caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

You must install the software before installing the hardware.

Before you install the hardware, refer to the guidelines in the 

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling

Note to Users

 included with the module to ensure that the device can cool itself effectively.

This document is also available at 

ni.com/manuals

.

The NI 5644R is a three-slot module with two backplane connectors. The module must be
installed into three adjacent chassis slots, and the left two slots must be PXI Express
compatible.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you

install the module.

2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to

installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure the fans are set to the highest setting.

Note

 

Inadequate air circulation could cause the temperature inside the chassis

to rise above the optimal operating temperature for the device, potentially

causing thermal shutdown, shorter lifespans, or improper performance.

5. Position the chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed.

Caution

 

Do not disconnect the cable that connects CAL IN to CAL OUT.

Removing the cable from or tampering with the CAL IN or CAL OUT front

panel connectors voids the product calibration and specifications are no longer

warranted.

6. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
7. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that

indicate the slot types.
