Installing the NI PCIe-8360
Installing an NI PXI-8360
Complete the following steps to install the NI PXI-8360 in your PXI or
CompactPCI chassis.
1.
Power off your PXI or CompactPCI chassis, but leave it plugged in
while installing the NI PXI-8360. The power cord grounds the chassis
and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.
2.
Select a slot for the NI PXI-8360. The NI PXI-8360 must be installed
in the controller slot (slot 1 in PXI).
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
off until you finish installing the NI PXI-8360.
3.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in
which you intend to install the NI PXI-8360.
4.
Touch the metal part of the chassis to discharge any static electricity
that might be on your clothes or body.
