Installing an NI ExpressCard-8360 Host Card
Because a laptop is not grounded, follow this procedure to safely connect it to your PXI system:
1.
Install the NI PXI-8360, NI PXI-8361, or NI PXIe-8360 as directed in the
NI PXI-8360/8364/8367/8368 or NI PXIe-8360/8364 Board
section where applicable.
2.
Touch the NI ExpressCard-8360 and a metal part of the PXI chassis simultaneously. Do not
install it into the laptop or embedded controller yet.
3.
Connect the cable to the NI ExpressCard-8360 and target chassis.
4.
Plug the NI ExpressCard-8360 into an available ExpressCard slot.
If your computer is already running (or hibernating, etc.) when you install an NI ExpressCard-8360,
you must reboot to detect the PXI system. Otherwise, the PXI system is detected when you start your
computer.
Figure 3-6 shows how to insert the NI ExpressCard-8360 into a laptop and connect the cable.
