This chapter explains how to install the NI ExpressCard MXI hardware.

The following are general instructions for installing the NI ExpressCard 
MXI boards. Consult your computer user manual or technical reference 
manual for specific instructions and warnings.

The PXI Platform Services software on the PXI Platform Services CD or driver CD 

included with your hardware is required to provide chassis and controller identification for 
PXI features such as trigger routing and slot detection. The PXI Platform Services software 
is also included with the NI-DAQmx and NI-VISA drivers. For more information, refer to

Complete the following steps to install the NI PXI-8360 or NI PXIe-8360 
in your PXI/cPCI or PXIe/cPCIe chassis.

1.

Power off your PXI/cPCI or PXIe/cPCIe chassis, but leave it plugged 
in while installing the NI PXI-8360 or NI PXIe-8360. The power cord 
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you 
install the module.

To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis 

off until you finish installing the NI PXI-8360 or NI PXIe-8360.

The NI PXI-8360 or NI PXIe-8360 must be installed in the controller slot (slot 1 

in PXI).

2.

Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the controller 
slot in which you intend to install the NI PXI-8360 or NI PXIe-8360.

3.

Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that 
might be on your clothes or body.
