2.
Locate an available PXI Express slot in the chassis. Do not install the PXIe-8267 in the
controller slot (slot 1 in a PXI Express chassis).
3.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in which you intend to
install the PXIe-8267.
4.
Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that might be on your
clothes or body.
5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Be sure to remove all
connector packaging and protective caps from retaining screws on the module. Align the
PXIe-8267 with the card guides on the top and bottom of the selected slot.
Note
Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the PXIe-8267. It
will not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it
does not interfere with the injector/ejector rail on the chassis.
6.
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 PXIe-8267 should be even with the front
panel of the chassis.
8.
Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front panel to secure
the PXIe-8267 to the chassis.
9.
Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.

the blink patterns and their meanings.

Drive manufacturers define the optional drive activity signal in different ways. Some
manufacturers unassert the activity signal when there is no drive activity, with LEDs off, while
others assert the signal, with LEDs on.
