of the system controller slot.
Caution
Do
not
raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI PXIe-8108. 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 chassis.

Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
7.
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXIe-8108
should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
8.
Tighten the four bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the
front panel to secure the NI PXIe-8108 to the chassis.
9.
Check the installation.

available through the online catalog at
