How to Remove the Controller from the PXI Chassis
The NI PXIe-8106 controller is designed for easy handling. To remove the
unit from the PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps.
1. Power off the chassis.
2. Unscrew the bracket-retaining screws in the front panel.
3. Press the injector/ejector handle down.
4. Slide the unit out of the chassis.
What If the NI PXIe-8106 Does Not Boot?
Several problems can cause a controller not to boot. Here are some things
to look for and possible solutions.
Things to Notice
• Which LEDs come on? The Power OK LED should stay lit. The
Drive LED should blink during boot as the disk is accessed.
• What appears on the display? Does it hang at some particular point
(BIOS, Operating System, etc.)? If nothing appears on the screen, try
a different monitor. Does your monitor work with a different PC? If it
hangs, note the last screen output that you saw for reference when
consulting National Instruments technical support.
