Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration
Installing an ExpressCard
You can install an ExpressCard module while the PXIe-8840 is running. The PXIe-8840
automatically detects the card. ExpressCards are generally marked with a symbol or a label to
indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
To install an ExpressCard, complete the following steps.
1.
Hold the card so the top side is facing left.
2. Insert the card until it is completely seated in its connector. The connector has an automatic
eject mechanism. If you insert the card and it is ejected, re-insert the card until it is seated.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try
again.
The PXIe-8840 automatically recognizes the ExpressCard and load the appropriate driver(s).
Third-party cards may require that you install additional drivers. Contact your ExpressCard
vendor for more information.
Removing an ExpressCard
To remove the ExpressCard module push in the module and then release to eject the card. Slide
the card out of the slot.
Caution
To avoid data loss and other potential issues, stop communication with
your ExpressCard device before removing it from the PXIe-8840. In Windows, use
the Safely Remove Hardware tool to stop the ExpressCard safely.
