a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your computer chassis, and

complete the following steps:

1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before removing the device

from the package.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any

other sign of damage.

3. Notify National Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a

damaged device into your chassis.

Installing the PXIe-8861 into a PXI Express Chassis

To install the PXIe-8861 into a PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps.

1. Plug in your chassis before installing the PXIe-8861. The power cord grounds the chassis

and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.

Caution In some National Instruments chassis, 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.

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

leave the chassis off until you finish installing the PXIe-8861.

2. Remove any panels blocking access to the system controller slot (Slot 1) in the chassis.
