Installing an NI 8262
Complete the following steps to install the NI 8262 in your PXI Express or
CompactPCI Express chassis:
1.
Power off your PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis, but leave
it plugged in while installing the NI 8262. The power cord grounds the
chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install the
module.
2.
Locate an available PXI Express or CompactPCI Express slot in the
chassis (x4 or greater). The NI 8262 must
not
be installed in the
controller slot (slot 1 in a PXI Express chassis).
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
off until you finish installing the NI 8262.
3.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in
which you intend to install the NI 8262.
4.
Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Be sure to remove all connector packaging and protective caps from
retaining screws on the module. Align the NI 8262 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 NI 8262. It will not insert
properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not interfere with the
injector/ejector 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 NI 8262
should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
8.
Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the NI 8262 to the chassis.
9.
Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
