NI PXI and PXI Express modules are sensitive instruments that should be handled carefully. Do
not expose the module to temperatures or humidity beyond the rated maximums. Keep the
module free of dust by cleaning with compressed air only. Do not clean the device with any
solvents or liquids.
You can install PXI modules in any PXI slot marked with a peripheral slot compatibility glyph
(a circle containing the slot number).
You can install PXI Express modules in a PXI Express slot of the chassis. Refer to the chassis
documentation for information about the markings that denote PXI Express slots.
To install a PXI/PXI Express module, complete the following steps:
1. Power off and unplug the PXI/PXI Express chassis before installing the module.
2. If the PXI/PXI Express chassis has multiple fan speed settings, make sure that the fans are
set to high.
3. Position the PXI/PXI Express chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed. For
more information, refer to the chassis documentation.
4. Make sure that the ejector handle of the module is in the unlatched (downward) position.
5. Holding the module by the ejector handle, slide it into an empty slot as shown in Figure 1
(PXI modules) or Figure 2 (PXI Express modules), or Figure 3 (NI PXIe-5185/5186
modules). Make sure that the base engages with the guides in the chassis.
6. Slide the module completely into the chassis and latch it by pulling up on the ejector handle.

NI PXIe-5185/5186 Startup Behavior
The first time you install the NI 5185/5186 in the chassis, the NI-SCOPE driver launches a
device recognition wizard. After the wizard completes, the NI 5185/5186 module goes through
an initialization procedure that lasts approximately 5 to 10 minutes. You must wait until the
initialization procedure completes before using the module.
Note The Access LED turns green when the module is ready to be configured.
The initialization procedure will occur on each subsequent use of the NI 5185/5186, although
the device recognition wizard is not repeated on each subsequent boot cycle. The module will
begin the initialization procedure after the NI-SCOPE driver has been loaded by the operating
system.
