Caution
In some National Instruments chassis, you must ensure that the
power LED is off. For more information about chassis power behavior, refer to
the user manual for the specific chassis.
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards,
leave the chassis off until you finish installing the PXIe-8821.
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
the following figure.

5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Align the PXIe-8821
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 PXIe-8821.
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 PXIe-8821 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 PXIe-8821 to the chassis.
9.
Check the installation.
