5. Installing the Hardware
This section describes how to install hardware for PXI/PXI Express, PCI, and USB platforms.
Note
You must install the software
before
you install the hardware.
To prevent damage to the device caused by ESD or contamination, handle the device using the
edges or the metal bracket. For more information, refer to the
Read Me First: Safety and
Electromagnetic Compatibility
document.
Caution
Unless you are using a USB device, you
must
power off and unplug your
PC or chassis before installing the hardware.
PXI/PXI Express Modules
NI PXI and PXI Express modules are sensitive instruments that should be handled carefully. Do
not expose the module to temperatures or humidity beyond the rated maximums. Keep the
module free of dust by cleaning with compressed air only. Do not clean the device with any
solvents or liquids.
You can install PXI modules in any PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility glyph
(a circle containing the slot number).
You can install PXI Express modules in a PXI Express slot of the chassis. Refer to the chassis
documentation for information about the markings that denote PXI Express slots.
To install a PXI/PXI Express module, complete the following steps:
1.
Power off and unplug the PXI/PXI Express chassis before installing the module.
2.
If the PXI/PXI Express chassis has multiple fan speed settings, make sure that the fans are
set to high.
3.
Position the PXI/PXI Express chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed. For
more information, refer to the chassis documentation.
4.
Make sure that the ejector handle of the module is in the unlatched (downward) position.
5.
Holding the module by the ejector handle, slide it into an empty slot as shown in Figure 1
(PXI modules) or Figure 2 (PXI Express modules), or Figure 3 (NI PXIe-5185/5186
modules). Make sure that the base engages with the guides in the chassis.
6.
Slide the module completely into the chassis and latch it by pulling up on the ejector handle.
