The NI PXI-8119 controller is designed for easy handling. To remove the
unit from the PXI chassis:
1.
Power off the chassis.
2.
Remove any cables that may be attached to the controller front panel.
3.
Unscrew the 4 bracket-retaining screws in the front panel.
4.
Press the injector/ejector handle down.
5.

What If the NI PXI-8119 Does Not Boot?
Several problems can cause a controller not to boot. Here are some things
to look for and possible solutions.
Things to Notice
•
Which LEDs come on? The
Power OK
LED should stay lit. The
Drive
LED should blink during boot as the disk is accessed.
•
What appears on the display? Does it hang at some particular point
(BIOS, Operating System, etc.)? If nothing appears on the screen, try
a different monitor. Does your monitor work with a different PC? If it
hangs, note the last screen output that you saw for reference when
consulting National Instruments technical support.
