How to Remove the Controller from the PXI Chassis

The NI PXI-8195/8196 controllers are designed for easy handling. To 
remove the unit from the PXI chassis:

1.

Turn off power.

2.

Remove the bracket-retaining screws in the front panel.

3.

Press the injector/ejector handle down.

4.

Slide the unit out of the chassis.

What If the NI PXI-8195/8196 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.
