This section contains general installation instructions for the NI PXI-8108.

you install the module. (Make sure the power switch is turned off.)
2. Remove any filler panels blocking access to the system controller slot
(slot 1) in the chassis.
3. Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
