The LEDs may not illuminate until the device has been configured in MAX. Before
proceeding, verify that the NI 4136/4137 appears in MAX.
If the ACCESS LED fails to illuminate after you power on the PXI Express chassis, a problem
may exist with the PXI Express power rails, a hardware module, or the LED.
