Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved
by NI could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.
Preparing the Environment
Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI PXIe-7858R meets the
following specifications.
Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) 0 °C to 55 °C
Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-78) 10% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing
Pollution degree 2
Maximum altitude 2,000 m
Indoor use only.
Note Refer to the device specifications on ni.com/manuals for complete
specifications.
Unpacking the Kit
Notice To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the
device, ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object, such as your computer chassis.
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.
2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose
components or any other sign of damage.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Note Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
ni.com

Installing Soware on the Host Computer
Before using the NI PXIe-7858R, you must install the following application soware
and device drivers on the host computer.
1. LabVIEW 2016 or later
2. LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2016 or later[1]
3. LabVIEW FPGA Module 2016 or later
4. NI R Series Multifunction RIO Device Drivers August 2016 or later
Visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code sowareversion for minimum soware
support information.
1 LabVIEW Real Time Module is only required when the R Series board is used in a
chassis where the PXIe Controller is running a real-time operating system.

Installing the NI PXIe-7858R
Notice To prevent damage to the NI PXIe-7858R caused by ESD or
contamination, handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the
module.
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage
while you install the module.
2. Power o the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior
to installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.
4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module
front panel.
5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the
symbols that indicate the slot types.

1. PXI Express System Controller Slot
2. PXI Peripheral Slot
3. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot
4. PXI Express System Timing Slot
5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot
6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.
7. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the
chassis. Slide the module into the slot until it is fully inserted.
8. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the front-panel mounting
screws.
ni.com

PXIe-7858 Getting Started

Note Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases
mechanical stability and also electrically connects the front panel to
the chassis, which can improve the signal quality and
electromagnetic performance.
9. Cover all empty slots using either filler panels (standard or EMC) or slot
blockers with filler panels, depending on your application.
Note For more information about installing slot blockers and filler
panels, go to ni.com/r/pxiblocker.
10. Power on the chassis.
Verifying Hardware Installation for Host Targets
You can verify that the system recognizes the NI PXIe-7858R by using Measurement
& Automation Explorer (MAX).
1. Launch MAX by navigating to Start » All Programs » National
Instruments » MAX or by clicking the MAX desktop icon.
2. Expand Devices and Interfaces.
3. Verify that the device appears under Devices and Interfaces.
If the device does not appear, press <F5> to refresh the view in MAX. If the
device does not appear aer refreshing the view, visit ni.com/support for
troubleshooting information.
Verifying Hardware Installation for Remote Systems
You can verify that the system recognizes the NI PXIe-7858R by using Measurement
& Automation Explorer (MAX).
1. Launch MAX on the host computer.
2. Expand Remote Systems in the configuration tree and locate your system.
3. Install LabVIEW Real-Time Module2016 and NI R Series Multifunction RIO
Device Drivers August 2016 or later on your Remote System.
