How to Remove the Unit from the PXI Mainframe

1.
Turn off power.
2.
Remove the bracket-retaining screws in the front panel.
3.
Press the injector/ejector handle down.
4.
Slide the unit out of the mainframe.
Setting up the PXI-8170 Series
At Windows NT/98 startup, the software prompts you to insert a disk to
configure the system for LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI, and to enter the
serial number for the operating system. These programming environments
are already installed on your system, but you must insert a configuration
disk when prompted so that you can access and use them. If you ordered
either of these programming environments, select the appropriate checkbox
and insert the configuration disk. Follow the instructions as prompted.
Do not select either checkbox if you did not order LabVIEW or
LabWindows/CVI. Continue with the rest of the Setup program.
The PXI-8170 Series comes with the NI-VISA software already installed.
However, if you need to reinstall NI-VISA in the event that your files are
accidentally erased, use the Setup program and follow the prompts to install
these programs from the diskettes.
Similarly, if you need to reinstall LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI, use the
CD or diskette package that came with these programs.
