copyright, patents, trademarks, warranties, product warnings, and export
compliance.
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.
© National Instruments 3
PXIe-7866 Getting Started

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.
Store the device in the antistatic package when the device is not in use.
Verifying the Kit Contents
Verify that the following items are included in the NI PXIe-7866 kit.

Installing Soware on the Host Computer
Before using the NI PXIe-7866, you must install the following application soware
and device drivers on the host computer.
1. LabVIEW 2019 SP1 or later
2. LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2019 or later[1]
3. LabVIEW FPGA Module 2019 or later
4. NI R Series Multifunction RIO Device Drivers January 2020 or later

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-7866
Notice To prevent damage to the NI PXIe-7866 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.

2. PXI Peripheral Slot
3. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot
4. PXI Express System Timing Slot
5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot
NI PXIe-7866 modules can be placed in PXIExpress peripheral slots,
PXIExpress hybrid peripheral slots, or PXI Express system timing slots.
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.
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-7866 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-7866 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 Module2019 and NI R Series Multifunction RIO
Device Drivers January 2020 or later on your Remote System.
1. Refer to the Installing Soware on the Host Computer section for
information about installing soware on the host.
2. Refer to the PXI Express Controllers User Manual at ni.com/manuals
for information on installing soware on the target.
4. Under Remote Systems, find and expand 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.
