Caution
To protect yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, the
computer must remain unplugged until the installation is complete.
Attention
Pour vous protéger et protéger l'ordinateur des risques électriques,
l'ordinateur doit rester débranché jusqu'à ce que l'installation soit terminée.
3.
Remove the computer cover to expose the expansion slots.
Notice
Installing a PCIe device into any non-PCIe slot can damage both the
computer motherboard and the device. Refer to the documentation provided by
your computer manufacturer to determine the correct slot in which to install the
NI PCIe-1477.
4.
Touch a metal part of the computer to discharge any static electricity that might be on
your clothes or body. Static electricity can damage the device.
5.
Choose an unused x8 or larger PCIe slot, and remove the corresponding expansion slot
cover on the back panel of the computer.
Note
The NI PCIe-1477 is intended for a x8 PCIe slot. The NI PCIe-1477 will
fit into, and can be used in, a x8 or x16 PCIe slot. If the NI PCIe-1477 is
plugged into a slot that cannot provide a x8 5.0 GT/s
2
connection, you will not
be able to achieve full bandwidth and you may experience timeouts and/or
FIFO overflows.
6.
Insert the device into the applicable PCIe slot and gently rock the device into the slot. The
connection may be tight, but do not force the device into place.
Note
Check that the bracket of your device aligns up with the hole in the back
panel rail of the computer chassis.

Most motherboards label the slots capable of this speed as PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0.
