Installing the NI PXIe-7868R
Caution To prevent damage to the NI PXIe-7868R caused by ESD or
contamination, handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.
4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that
indicate the slot types.

1. PXI Express System Controller Slot
2. PXI Peripheral Slot
3. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot
4. PXI Express System Timing Slot
5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot
NI PXIe-7868R modules can be placed in PXI Express peripheral slots, PXI Express
hybrid peripheral slots, or PXI Express system timing slots.
6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.

LabVIEW Real Time Module is only required when the R Series board is used in a chassis where
the PXIe Controller is running a real-time operating system.
