Installing an ExpressCard-8360 Host Card

Because a laptop is not grounded, follow this procedure to safely connect it to your PXI system:
1. Install the PXI-8360, PXI-8361, or PXIe-8360 as directed in the
PXI-8360/8364/8367/8368 or PXIe-8360/8364 Board
2. Touch the ExpressCard-8360 and a metal part of the PXI chassis simultaneously. Do not
install it into the laptop or embedded controller yet.
3. Connect the cable to the ExpressCard-8360 and target chassis.
4. Plug the ExpressCard-8360 into an available ExpressCard slot.
If your computer is already running (or hibernating, etc.) when you install an ExpressCard-8360, you
must reboot to detect the PXI system. Otherwise, the PXI system is detected when you start your
computer.
Figure 3-6 shows how to insert the ExpressCard-8360 into a laptop and connect the cable.
