Installing the PXIe-4844
This section contains installation instructions for the PXIe-4844. Refer to your PXI Express
chassis user manual for chassis instructions and warnings.
1. Plug in your chassis before installing the PXIe-4844. The power cord grounds the chassis
and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.
2. Make sure the chassis 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 PXIe-4844 module.
3. Touch a metal part on the chassis to discharge any static electricity that might be on your
clothes or body.
