5. Installing the Hardware
Cautions Unless you are using a USB device, you must power off the PC or PXI chassis before
installing the DMM hardware.
To prevent damage due to ESD or contamination for all PXI, PCI, and PCI Express devices, handle
the DMM by the metal bracket or edges. Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency
Interference document for more information.
Notes Install the NI-DMM software before installing the hardware.
Refer to the Appendix B: Chassis Recommendations and System Considerations section for more
information about installing the DMM in a PC or PXI chassis.
Installing a PXI DMM
To determine if your DMM is a PXI or PXI Express compatible DMM, refer to Figure 2. To install a
PXI DMM, refer to Figure 1 and complete the following steps.
