The NI PXIe-8106 controller is designed for easy handling. To remove the

unit from the PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps.

2. Unscrew the bracket-retaining screws in the front panel.

3. Press the injector/ejector handle down.

4. Slide the unit out of the chassis.

What If the NI PXIe-8106 Does Not Boot?

Several problems can cause a controller not to boot. Here are some things

to look for and possible solutions.

• Which LEDs come on? The Power OK LED should stay lit. The

Drive LED should blink during boot as the disk is accessed.

• What appears on the display? Does it hang at some particular point

(BIOS, Operating System, etc.)? If nothing appears on the screen, try

a different monitor. Does your monitor work with a different PC? If it

hangs, note the last screen output that you saw for reference when

consulting National Instruments technical support.
