Getting Started

This section includes instructions for unpacking and installing your NI PXIe-8830mc
processor module, including setting up your processor module to run LabVIEW Real-Time. It
also describes the processor module's front panel connectors.

Unpacking

The NI PXIe-8830mc ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge from
damaging device components. To prevent such damage when handling the device, ground
yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your computer
chassis, and complete the following steps:
1.

Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before removing the device
from the package.

Caution

 

Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

2.

Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any
other sign of damage.

3.

Notify National Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do 

not

 install a

damaged device into your chassis.
