1.
Set the front-panel power switch to the Off (nonrecessed) position.
2.
Disconnect the AC power cable.
3.
Depress the circuit breaker to reset it.

2.
Disconnect the AC power cable.
3.
Remove all modules from the chassis.
4.
Complete the procedure described in the
section of Chapter 2,
Installation and Configuration
. If the power
switch LED is not a steady green, contact National Instruments.

The over-current condition that caused the circuit breaker to trip may
be due to a faulty CompactPCI or PXI module. Refer to the
documentation supplied with the modules for troubleshooting
information.
