Getting Started

This chapter describes the key features of the NI PXI-1036 and 
PXI-1036DC chassis, and lists the kit contents and optional equipment 
you can order from National Instruments.

Unpacking

Carefully inspect the shipping container and the chassis for damage. Check 
for visible damage to the metal work. Check to make sure all handles, 
hardware, and switches are undamaged. Inspect the inner chassis for any 
possible damage, debris, or detached components. If damage appears to 
have been caused during shipment, file a claim with the carrier. Retain the 
packing material for possible inspection and/or reshipment.
