4. 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 PXI-8360 or
NIPXIe-83 60 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 NI PXI-8360 or
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.
5. Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until
the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
6. Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXI-8360
or NI PXIe-8360 should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
7. Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the NI PXI-8360 or NI PXIe-8360 to the chassis.
8. Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
