6.
Line up the PCI-6810 with the 68-pin connector near the cut-out on
the back panel. Slowly push down on the top of the PCI-6810 until
its card-edge connector is resting on the expansion slot receptacle.
Using slow, evenly distributed pressure, press the PCI-6810
straight down until it seats in the expansion slot.
7.
Reinstall the bracket-retaining screw to secure the PCI-6810 to the
back panel rail.
8.
Replace the computer cover.
9.
Turn on your PC and the PCI-6810.
Note:
If Windows 95/NT cannot identify your hardware, this probably means you
installed the hardware before the software. If this is the case, install the
software and reboot. This will allow Windows to recognize your hardware.
If the problem persists, uninstall the software and hardware and reinstall
in the correct order.
10. Run the software soft front panel in the NI Serial Data Analyzer
program group to verify it is working properly.
Your PCI-6810 device is installed. You are ready to configure your
6810 software. See the Using the 6810 Soft Front Panel to
Configure Your Device section for software configuration instructions.

PXI-6810
You can install the PXI-6810 in any available 5 V slot in your PXI or
CompactPCI chassis. To achieve the best noise performance, leave as
much room as possible between the 6810 and other devices.
Note:
The PXI-6810 has connections to several reserved lines on the
CompactPCI J2 connector. Before installing a PXI-6810 in a CompactPCI
system that uses J2 connector lines for purposes other than PXI, see
, of this manual.
