Install the PXI-8320
This section contains general installation instructions for the PXI-8320.
Consult your chassis user manual or the
PXI-8320 User Manual
for
specific instructions and warnings.
1.
Plug in your PXI or CompactPCI chassis before installing the
PXI-8320. The power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from
electrical damage while you install the module.
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
off until you finish installing the PXI-8320 module.
2.
Select any available PXI or CompactPCI peripheral slot. Do
not
use
the first slot, which is designated for the system controller, such as the
National Instruments PXI-8170 Series embedded computer. Refer to
Figure 4-2.
3.
Locate the metal bracket that covers the chassis slot you have selected.
Remove and save the cover.
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.
Align the PXI-8320 with the card guides on the slot of the
PXI/CompactPCI peripheral slot.
Caution
Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the PXI-8320. The module
will not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not
interfere with the injector rail on the chassis.
6.
Slide the board into the chassis until the handle catches on the
injector/ejector rail.
