off until you finish installing the NI PXI-8105 module.
2.
Remove any 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.
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 PXI-8105 with the card guides on the top and bottom of
the system controller slot.
