Removing Protective Screw Caps

5.

Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. 
Align the NI PXIe-8101/8102 with the card guides on the top and 
bottom of the system controller slot.

Caution

Do 

not

 raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI PXIe-8101/8102. 

The module will not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that 
it does not interfere with the injector rail on the chassis.

6.

Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until 
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.

7.

Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats 
into the backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the 
NI PXIe-8101/8102 should be even with the front panel of the chassis.

8.

Tighten the four bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the 
front panel to secure the NI PXIe-8101/8102 to the chassis.
