Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until the handle catches
on the injector/ejector rail.

Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the backplane
receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXI-8840 Quad-Core should be even
with the front panel of the chassis.

Tighten the four bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front panel to
secure the NI PXI-8840 Quad-Core to the chassis.
9.
Check the installation.
10. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors. If you are using a PS/2

USB connector. National Instruments offers a Y-splitter adapter cable, part number
778713-02, available through the online catalog at
ni.com/products
.
11. Connect the DisplayPort monitor video cable to the DisplayPort connector, or use the
DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter included with your controller to connect a VGA monitor to
the DisplayPort connector.
12. Connect devices to ports as required by your system configuration.
13. Power on the display. Refer to the
NI PXI-8840 Quad-Core User Manual
