Installation and Configuration
This chapter contains information about installing and configuring your
NI 3100/3110 controller.
Mounting the NI 3100/3110
This section contains mounting and installation requirements.
Before mounting the controller, record the serial number and Ethernet Mac
address from the bottom plate, as you cannot read these after you mount the
controller.
You can mount the controller in any orientation to any material. Do not
mount the controller upside down (cooling fins facing down), as this
may affect the thermal performance. Measure the ambient temperature
50.8 mm (2 in.) from the front of the controller.
Your installation must meet the following requirements for space and cabling
Caution
clearance:
•
Allow 152.4 mm (6 in.) on the sides and top of the controller for air circulation.
•
Allow 101.6 mm (4 in.) in front of the controller for cable clearance for common
connectors, such as DVI and serial. Verify the cable clearance requirements for any
PCI or PCI Express card installed.
Installing the NI 3100/3110
This section contains general installation instructions for the NI 3100/3110.
Cautions
Be sure the NI 3100/3110 is powered down and the AC input to the external
power supply is disconnected before connecting or disconnecting any connectors. The
computer boots and runs as soon as power is applied; there is no on/off switch.
Also, ground the unit to minimize the possibility of static electricity damage and ground
yourself with antistatic straps or work in an antistatic approved area when inserting or
removing an internal PCI or PCI Express peripheral card.
