Secure the module PCI Express mounting bracket to the computer chassis with two
bracket screws.
Note
Because of the high mass of the PCIe-5774, installing the bracket
screws is recommended. Installing the bracket screws increases mechanical
stability and electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can
improve the signal quality and electromagnetic performance.

Power on your computer.
Installing the Ferrite on the DIO Cable
Notice
To ensure the specified EMC performance, install the snap-on ferrite bead
(National Instruments part number 781233-02) in accordance with these instructions.
1.
Open the ferrite bead and place the cable inside the center of the bead. Ensure the ferrite
bead is as close to where the cable connects to the PCIe-5774 as practical.
2.
Close the ferrite bead until the locking tabs engage securely.
