Installing an NI PXIe-8360
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
Caution
off until you finish installing the NI PXIe-8360.
Caution
Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI PXIe-8360. It will not
insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not interfere
with the injector/ejector rail on the chassis, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Complete the following steps to install the NI PXIe-8360 in your
PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis.
1.
Power off your PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis, but leave
it plugged in while installing the NI PXIe-8360. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2.
Locate the System Controller slot of the chassis. The NI PXIe-8360
must be installed in the controller slot (slot 1 in a PXI Express chassis).
3.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in
which you intend to install the NI PXIe-8360.
4.
Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
5.
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 PXIe-8360 with the card
guides on the top and bottom of the system controller slot.
6.
Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
7.
Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXIe-8360
should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
8.
Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the NI PXIe-8360 to the chassis.
9.
Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
