Installing The Ni Flexrio Adapter Module; Installing Pxi Emc Filler Panels - National Instruments NI 6581 Getting Started Manual

Installing the NI FlexRIO Adapter Module

Skip this step if you are not using an adapter module.
Note
1. Gently insert the guide pins and the high-density card edge of the NI FlexRIO adapter
module into the corresponding connectors of the NI FlexRIO FPGA module, as shown in
the figure below.

The connection may be tight, but do not force the adapter module into place.
2. Tighten the captive screws on the NI FlexRIO adapter module to secure it to the
NI FlexRIO FPGA module. NI recommends using the laser-tipped screwdriver (part
number 748677-01) included in the NI 6581/NI 6581B packaging.
3. Launch LabVIEW to begin configuring your NI FlexRIO system.
Note
adapter module will not appear in MAX.

Installing PXI EMC Filler Panels

To ensure specified EMC performance, PXI EMC filler panels must be properly installed in
your NI FlexRIO system. The PXI EMC filler panels (National Instruments part number
778700-01) must be purchased separately.
