Installing a PCI Express Expansion Card
Follow these steps to install a PCI Express expansion card:
1.
Locate the riser card bracket already installed in the NI RMC-8354 chassis.
2.
Unscrew and lift the bracket from the chassis. (Depending on the PCI Express card size,
removing the bracket may not be necessary to install a PCI Express expansion card.)
3.
Remove the PCI slot filler bracket from the chassis.
4.
Insert the PCI Express expansion card into the PCI Express slot on the riser card bracket.
5.
Align the riser card bracket with the PCI Express slot on the chassis. (This may require
“wiggling” the bracket to fit the bottom edge into the slot on the chassis.) If the bracket was
removed from the chassis, carefully push down the bracket with even force on both sides
until it is firmly seated in the slot.
6.
Secure the PCI Express card bracket by closing the locking tab mechanism on the chassis.
