What Should I Do if the PXIe-4163 Doesn't Appear in MAX?

1. In the MAX configuration tree, expand 

Devices and Interfaces

.

2. Expand the 

Chassis

 tree to see the list of installed hardware, and press <F5> to

refresh the list.

3. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure that all hardware

is correctly installed, and restart the system.
