1. Turn off and unplug your computer.
2. Choose an unused PXI slot in your system. For maximum
performance, the NI 6035E device has an onboard DMA controller
that can only be used if the device is installed in a slot that supports
bus arbitration, or bus master cards. National Instruments recommends
installing the device in such a slot. The PXI specification requires all
slots to support bus master cards, but the CompactPCI specification
does not. If you install in a CompactPCI non-master slot, you must
disable the onboard DMA controller using software.
3. Make sure there are no lighted LEDs on your motherboard. If any
are lit, wait until they go out before continuing your installation.
4. Remove the filler panel for the slot you have chosen.
5. Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object. Follow the ESD protection precautions described in the
Unpacking section of Chapter 1, Introduction.

handle to fully insert the device into the chassis.

panel-mounting rail of the system.
