NI VXIpc -882
This guide contains information about installing and troubleshooting your

NI VXIpc-882 User Manual
, which you should have received in either
hardcopy or PDF format with your VXI controller. The PDF version of this
manual is also available online at

.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage your controller. To avoid such damage,
handle the controller only in a proper ESD-controlled environment.
Installing the NI VXIpc-882
This section contains general installation instructions for the
NI VXIpc-882 controller. Consult your VXIbus chassis user manual or
technical reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.
1.
Plug in your chassis before installing the controller. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
are installing the controller.
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, the chassis
should remain off until you finish installing the controller.
2.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the chassis
slots.
Caution
If the controller is not configured for automatic System Controller detection, be
certain that the slot you select in your VXIbus chassis matches the controller configuration
as either a System Controller device or a Non-System Controller device. Installing the
controller into a slot that does not correspond with the jumper setting can damage the
controller, the VXIbus backplane, or both. See the
NI VXIpc-882 User Manual
for jumper
configuration information.
