Installing Peripheral Modules
Caution The NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis has been designed to accept a variety of
peripheral module types in different slots. To prevent damage to the chassis, ensure
that the peripheral module is being installed into a slot designed to accept it. Refer to
Chapter 1, Getting Started, for a description of the various slot types.
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a peripheral module in a
NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis. Refer to your peripheral module user manual for specific
instructions and warnings. To install a module, complete the following steps:

AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install
the module.
2. Ensure that the chassis is powered off.
