Complete the following steps to install the NI PXIe-8360 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 NI PXIe-8360. The power cord 
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you 
install the module.

2.

Locate the System Controller slot of the chassis. The NI PXIe-8360 
must be installed in the controller slot (slot 1 in a PXI Express chassis).

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

off until you finish installing the NI PXIe-8360.

3.

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

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 NI PXIe-8360 with the card 
guides on the top and bottom of the system controller slot.

Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI PXIe-8360. 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, as shown in Figure 2-2.

6.

Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until 
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.

7.

Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the 
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXIe-8360 
should be even with the front panel of the chassis.

8.

Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front 
panel to secure the NI PXIe-8360 to the chassis.

9.

Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
