Installation notes

If your system doesn’t boot or if you experience erratic opera-
tion with your PCI board in place, it’s most likely caused by an
interrupt conflict (possibly an incorrect ISA setup). In general,
the solution, once determined it is not a simple oversight, is to
consult the BIOS documentation that comes with your system.

Check the control panel of the Windows system if the card is
listed by the system. If not, check the PCI settings in the BIOS
or use another PCI slot.

2.5.4 Installing the PXI-8164 card

1. Follow steps 1 to 2 of the previous section.

2. Select an available PXI slot, then remove the metal

cover opposite the slot you want to use. Keep the metal
cover and screws for later use.

3. Align the card’s top and bottom edges with the chassis

card guides, then carefully slide it into the chassis.

4. Lift the card ejector latch until it locks in place.

5. Secure the card with two screws.

6. Connect all peripherals, then turn the computer on.
