5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Align the NI PXIe-8115 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-8115. 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-8115
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-8115 to the chassis.
9.
Check the installation.
10. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors. If you
are using a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, a Y-splitter adapter is
available to connect both to a single USB connector. National
Instruments offers a Y-splitter adapter cable, part number 778713-02,
available through the online catalog at
ni.com/products
.
11. Connect the DisplayPort monitor video cable to the DisplayPort
connector, or use the DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter included with your
controller to connect a VGA monitor to the DisplayPort connector.
12. Connect peripherals to ports as required by your system configuration.
13. Power on the display. Refer to the
NI PXIe-8115 User Manual
