Installation
Note
You must install the NI-IMAQ driver software before installing your 1408 device.
For information on how to install NI-IMAQ, please see the Getting Started with Your
IMAQ System document and your NI-IMAQ release notes.

PCI-1408
You can install the PCI-1408 in any available PCI expansion slot in your
computer. However, to achieve the best noise performance, you should
leave as much room as possible between the PCI-1408 and other boards
and hardware. The following are general instructions, but consult your
computer user manual or technical reference manual for specific
instructions and warnings.
1.
Plug in but do not turn on your computer before installing the
PCI-1408 device. The power cord grounds the computer and protects
it from electrical damage while you are installing the module.
Warning
To protect both yourself and the computer from electrical hazards, the computer
should remain off until you finish installing the 1408 device.
2.
Remove the top cover or access port to the PCI bus.
3.
Select any available PCI expansion slot.
4.
Locate the metal bracket that covers the cut-out in the back panel
of the chassis for the slot you have selected. Remove and save the
bracket-retaining screw and the bracket cover.
5.
Touch the metal part of the power supply case inside the computer to
discharge any static electricity that might be on your clothes or body.
