Installing the NI PXIe-8106
This section contains general installation instructions for the
NI PXIe-8106. Consult your PXI chassis user manual for specific
instructions and warnings.
1.
Plug in your chassis before installing the NI PXIe-8106. The power
cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while
you install the module. Make sure the chassis power is turned off.
In some National Instruments chassis, such as the NI PXIe-1062Q,
ensure that the power LED is off. For more information about chassis
power behavior, refer to the user manual for the specific chassis.
2.
Remove any panels blocking access to the system controller slot
(Slot 1) in the chassis.
3.
Touch the metal part of the chassis case to discharge any static
electricity that might be on your clothes or body.
4.
Remove the protective plastic covers from the four bracket-retaining
screws as shown in Figure 1.
5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Align the NI PXIe-8106 with the card guides on the top and bottom of
the system controller slot.
