National Instruments NI PCIe-8360 用户手册

© National Instruments Corporation

To set up and use your MXI-Express cards, you need the following:

❑

One NI PCIe-8360 and one NI PXI-8360

❑

A MXI-Express cable

❑

A host PC with an available x1 (or wider) PCI Express slot

❑

An expansion chassis—the PXI/CompactPCI chassis that you control 
with MXI-Express

Your PXI MXI-Express card will work in any standard CompactPCI chassis 

adhering to the PICMG CompactPCI 2.0 R3.0 specification, or in PXI chassis that are 
compatible with the PXI Hardware Specification, Revision 1.0 or later. Your PCI Express 
MXI-Express card will work in systems compliant with the PCI Express Specification, 
Revision 1.0a or later.

Your MXI-Express cards are shipped in antistatic packages to prevent 
electrostatic damage (ESD) to the devices. ESD can damage several 
components on the device.

Never touch the exposed pins of connectors. Doing so may damage the device.

To avoid such damage in handling the device, take the following 
precautions:

•

Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded 
object.

•

Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis 
before removing the device from the package.

Remove the device

 

from the package and inspect the device

 

for loose 

components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the device

 

appears 

damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device

 

into the computer 

or PXI/CompactPCI chassis.

Store the device in the antistatic envelope when not in use.
