Hardware Installation and Use
This section explains how to install and use the RMX-8268 for PXI Express.
Hardware Installation for Gen3 x8 PXI Express Solution
The following are general instructions for installing the RMX-8268 for PXI Express system.
Consult your computer user manual or technical reference manual for specific instructions and
warnings.
Installing a PXIe-8394
Complete the following steps to install the PXIe-8394 in your PXI Express or
CompactPCI Express chassis:
1.
Power off your PXI Express or CompactPCI Express chassis, but leave it plugged in while
installing the PXIe-8394. The power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical
damage while you install the module.
2.
Locate an available PXI Express or CompactPCI Express slot in the chassis. The
PXIe-8394 must
not
be installed in the controller slot (slot 1 in a PXI Express chassis).
Caution
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the
chassis off until you finish installing the PXIe-8394.
3.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot where you intend to install
the PXIe-8394.
4.
Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that might be on your
clothes or body.
5.
Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Be sure to remove all
connector packaging and protective caps from retaining screws on the module. Align the
PXIe-8394 with the card guides on the top and bottom of the system controller slot.
Caution
Do
not
raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the PXIe-8394. It will
not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward position so that it does not
interfere with the injector/ejector rail on the chassis.
