1.
Turn off and unplug your PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
2.
Choose an unused PXI or CompactPCI peripheral slot. For maximum
performance, install the PXI-6711/6713 in a slot that supports bus
arbitration or bus-master cards. The PXI-6711/6713 contains onboard
bus-master DMA logic that can operate only in such a slot. If you
choose a slot that does not support bus masters, you will have to disable
the onboard DMA controller using your software. PXI-compliant
chassis must have bus arbitration for all slots.

Remove the filter panel for the peripheral slot that you have chosen.
4.
Touch a metal part on the chassis to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.

mounting rails of the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.
