Installing the NI PXI-8183
This section contains general installation instructions for the NI PXI-8183.
Consult your PXI chassis user manual for specific instructions and
warnings.
1.
Plug in your chassis before installing the NI PXI-8183. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module. (Make sure the power switch is turned off.)
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
powered off until you finish installing the NI PXI-8183 module.
2.
Remove any filler panels blocking access to the system controller slot
(Slot 1) in the chassis.
3.
Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
