INSTALLATION GUIDE
NI PXIe-8840
This document contains information about installing the NI PXIe-8840 controller in a
PXI Express chassis. For complete configuration and troubleshooting information (including
information about BIOS setup, adding RAM, and so on), refer to the NI PXIe-8840 User
Manual. The manual is in PDF format on the documentation CD included with the controller and
on the National Instruments website,
Installing the NI PXIe-8840
This section contains general installation instructions for the NI PXIe-8840. Consult the
NI PXIe-8840 User Manual for specific instructions and warnings.
1. Plug in the chassis before installing the NI PXIe-8840. The power cord grounds the chassis
and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module. Make sure the power
switch is turned off.
Cautions In some National Instruments chassis, such as the NI PXIe-1082, you
must ensure that the power LED is off. For more information about chassis power
behavior, refer to the user manual for the specific chassis.
To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, leave the chassis off
until you finish installing the NI PXIe-8840 module.
2. Remove any panels blocking access to the system controller slot (slot 1) in the chassis.
3. Touch the metal part of the case to discharge any static electricity that might be on your
clothes or body.
