x
-02L, where
x
is D or higher).
The Ethernet port on the NI PXI-8232 is based on the
Intel 82541PI-compatible Ethernet controller.
Installing Your PXI Board
Complete the following steps to install the PXI-8232 hardware:
1.
Shut down Windows, if it is running, by selecting
Start»Shut Down
.
2.
Power off your PXI or CompactPCI chassis. Keep the chassis plugged
in so it remains grounded as you install the adapter.
3.
Remove the filler panel from a PXI peripheral bus master slot. The
adapter requires a bus master slot to take advantage of the onboard
DMA and Ethernet controllers. All PXI chassis and most CompactPCI
chassis contain only bus master slots. Refer to your chassis
documentation to verify you are using a bus master slot.
4.
Touch a metal part on your chassis to discharge any static electricity
that might be on your clothes or body.
5.
Insert the adapter into the selected bus master slot. Use the
injector/ejector handle to fully inject the device into place.
6.
Screw the adapter front panel to the PXI or CompactPCI chassis front
panel mounting rail.
