Secure the PCI Express mounting bracket of the module to the computer chassis with two
bracket screws.
Note
Because of the high mass of the PCI Express FlexRIO devices,
installing the bracket screws is recommended. Installing the bracket screws
increases mechanical stability and electrically connects the front panel to the
chassis, which can improve signal quality and electromagnetic performance.
7.
Connect the 6-pin PCI Express power connector from the power supply to the PCI
Express FlexRIO device.
8.
Reinstall any access panels on the computer case.
9.
Power on your computer.
Configuring the PCIe-6593 in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which NI hardware products are in the system and how they are
configured. MAX is automatically installed with FlexRIO.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
In the configuration tree, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see the list of installed NI
hardware.
Note
If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of
installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure
the module is correctly installed, and restart.
