Installing the PXIe-5820
Caution To prevent damage to the PXIe-5820 caused by ESD or contamination,
handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.
You must install the software before installing the hardware.
Before you install the hardware, refer to the guidelines in the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling
Note to Users included with the module to ensure that the device can cool itself effectively.
This document is also available at ni.com/manuals.
The PXIe-5820 is a two-slot module with two backplane connectors. The module must be
installed into two adjacent chassis slots.
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. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure the fans are set to the highest setting.
Note Inadequate air circulation could cause the temperature inside the chassis
to rise above the optimal operating temperature for the device, potentially
causing thermal shutdown, shorter lifespans, or improper performance.
5. Position the chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed.
6. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
7. Identify two adjacent PXI Express-compatible slots in the chassis. The following figure
shows the symbols that indicate the slot types.
