Caution
Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI PXIe-8388/9. 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, as shown in Figure 2-1.
5.
Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
6.
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats
into the backplane receptacle connectors. The NI PXIe-8388/9 front
panel should be even with the chassis front panel.
7.
Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the NI PXIe-8388/9 to the chassis.
8.
Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
Figure 2-1 shows an NI PXIe-8388/9 just before installation in the system
controller slot of a National Instruments PXI Express chassis.
