Installation
This chapter contains information about installing your NI VXIpc-882
controller and components.
Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage your controller. To avoid such damage,
handle the controller only in a proper ESD-controlled environment.
Installing the NI VXIpc-882
This section contains general installation instructions for the
NI VXIpc-882 controller. Consult your VXIbus chassis user manual or
technical reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.
1. Plug in your chassis before installing the controller. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
are installing the controller.
Caution To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards, the chassis
should remain off until you finish installing the controller.
2. Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the chassis
slots.
Caution If the controller is not configured for automatic System Controller detection, be
certain that the slot you select in your VXIbus chassis matches the controller configuration
as either a System Controller device or a Non-System Controller device. Installing the
controller into a slot that does not correspond with the jumper setting can damage the
controller, the VXIbus backplane, or both. Refer to the
Slot 0 Detection section of
Chapter 3, Configuration and Default Settings , for jumper configuration information.
3. Insert the controller in the desired slot by aligning the top and bottom
of the controller with the card-edge guides inside the chassis. Slowly
push the controller straight into the slot until its plug connectors are
resting on the backplane receptacle connectors. Using slow, evenly
distributed pressure, press the module straight in until it seats in the
expansion slot. The front panel of the controller should be even with
the front panel of the chassis.
