Installing the NI PXI-8184/8185
This section contains general installation instructions for the
NI PXI-8184/8185. Consult your PXI chassis user manual for specific
instructions and warnings.
1. Plug in your chassis before installing the NI PXI-8184/8185. The
power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage
while you install the module. (Make sure the power switch is
turned off.)
Caution To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis
powered off until you finish installing the NI PXI-8184/8185 module.
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.
4. Remove the protective plastic covers from the four bracket-retaining
screws as shown in Figure 2-1.
