Installing an NI PXI-8360/8364 or NI PXIe-8360/8364 Board
Table 3 provides information on which PXI or PXI Express
MXI-Express x1 boards are compatible with which chassis slot types.
Note For this section, all of the above products will be referred to as an “NI PXI board.”
Complete the following steps to install the NI PXI board into your PXI or
PXI Express chassis.
1. Power off your PXI or PXI Express chassis, and leave it plugged in.
The power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from ESD.
Caution To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
off until you finish installing the NI PXI board.
2. Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in
which you intend to install the NI PXI board.
3. Touch a metal part of the chassis to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
4. Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position.
Be sure to remove all connector packaging and protective caps from
retaining screws on the module. Align the NI PXI board with the card
guides on the top and bottom of the chassis slot.
