3.
Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
4.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Align the PXI-8170 with the card guides on the top and bottom of the
system controller slot.
Caution
Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the PXI-8170. The module
will not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not
interfere with the injector rail on the mainframe.
5.
Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the mainframe
until the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
6.
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the PXI-8170
should be even with the front panel of the mainframe.
7.
Tighten the four bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the
front panel to secure the PXI-8170 to the mainframe.
8.
Check the installation.
9.
Connect the keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors. Use a
PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter if you need to adapt an AT-style keyboard
to the PXI-8170 mini-DIN connector.
10. Connect the VGA monitor video cable to the VGA connector.
11. Connect devices to ports as required by your system configuration.
12. Replace or close any doors or covers to the mainframe.
