Safety Information
Caution Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance, or exploratory procedure,
carefully read the following caution notices.
This equipment contains voltage hazardous to human life and safety, and
can inflict personal injury.
•Chassis Grounding—The NI 8352/8353 requires a connection from
the premise wire safety ground to the NI 8352/8353 chassis ground.
The earth safety ground must be connected during use of this
equipment to minimize shock hazards. Refer to the Connecting Safety
Ground section for instructions on connecting safety ground.
•Live Circuits—Operating personnel and service personnel must
not remove protective covers when operating or servicing the
NI 8352/8353. Adjustments and service to internal components must
be undertaken by qualified service technicians. During service of this
product, the mains connector to the premise wiring must be
disconnected. Dangerous voltages may be present under certain
conditions; use extreme caution.
•Explosive Atmosphere—Do not operate the chassis in conditions
where flammable gases are present. Under such conditions this
equipment is unsafe and may ignite the gases or gas fumes.
•Parts Replacement—Only service this equipment with parts that are
exact replacements, both electrically and mechanically. Contact
National Instruments for replacement part information. Installation of
parts with those that are not direct replacements may cause harm to
personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may
occur if replacement parts are unsuitable.
•Modification—Do not modify any part of the NI 8352/8353 from its
original condition. Unsuitable modifications may result in safety
hazards.

Chassis Cooling Considerations
The NI 8352/8353 is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument
rack. Determine how you want to use the NI 8352/8353 and follow the
appropriate installation instructions.
Providing Adequate Clearance
Apertures in the front, top, rear, and along both sides of the chassis
facilitate power supply and motherboard cooling. Air enters through the
front and top inlets of the chassis and exits through the fans on the rear of
the chassis. Place the NI 8352/8353 on a bench top or in an instrument rack
so that the fans (air outlets) and the air inlet apertures along the top and
front of the chassis have adequate ventilation. Keep other equipment a
minimum of 76.2 mm (3 in.) away from the air outlets on the rear of the
chassis.
Installation
Follow these steps to connect devices to the NI 8352/8353:
1. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors on the
NI 8352/8353 rear panel.
2. Connect the VGA monitor video cable to the VGA connector on the
rear panel.
3. (Optional) To boot into LabVIEW RT, connect the network cable to
LAN jack 1 on the rear panel. (Refer to Figure 2 for the location of
LAN jack 1.)
4. Connect the USB, serial, and parallel devices as necessary to the
NI 8352/8353 front and rear panel ports.
Caution To minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to power
the NI 8352/8353 has an appropriate earth safety ground. Refer to the Connecting Safety
Ground section for more information.
5. Connect the AC power cable to the AC inlet on the rear panel and to an
AC power outlet. For more information, refer to Connecting to Power
Source section.
6. Connect the MXI-Express port on the rear of the NI 8352/8353 to the
PXI chassis and power on the chassis.
7. Power on the NI 8352/8353.
8. Verify that the NI 8352/8353 boots. If it does not boot, refer to the
What if the NI 8353/8353 does not boot? section of Chapter 5,
Troubleshooting, in the NI 8352/8353 User Manual.

NI 8352/8353 Installation Guide 10 ni.com
Connecting Safety Ground
The NI 8352/8353 is designed with a three-position NEMA 5-15 style plug
for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To
minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to
power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.
Connecting to Power Source
Attach input power through the rear AC inlet using the appropriate
AC power cable supplied.
Caution To completely remove power, you must disconnect the AC power cable.
The power switch allows you to power on the chassis or place it in standby
mode. Push the power switch to the On position (if not already on). Observe
that all fans become operational and the power indicator is lit.
Rack Mounting
Note To rack mount the NI 8352/8353, the chassis must be at least 26 in. deep.
The rack mounting hardware includes:
• One pair of inner slides to be installed on the chassis.
• One pair of outer slides to be installed in the rack.
• Two pairs of short brackets for the front of the outer slides.
Note One pair of short brackets includes screw threads, and the other pair does not.
Use the pair that fits into your rack.
• One pair of long brackets for the rear of the outer slides.

Installing Inner Slides
Follow these steps to install the inner slides:
1. Locate the right inner slide (the slide used on the right side of the
chassis when facing the chassis front panel).
2. Align the four square holes on the right inner slide against the hooks
on the right side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3.
3. Securely attach the slide to the chassis with two M4 flathead screws.
Repeat steps 1–3 to install the left inner slide to the left side of the
chassis.

Installing Outer Slides
Follow these steps to install the outer slides:
1. Measure the distance from the front rail of the rack to the rear rail of
the rack.
2. Attach a short bracket to the rear of the right outer slide and a long
bracket to the front of the right outer slide, as shown in Figure 4.
3. Adjust the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the
chassis fits snugly into the rack.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 for the left outer slide.

Hard Drive Recovery
The NI 8352/8353 includes two methods of restoring the original factory
condition of your hard drive. Hard drive-based recovery stores a factory
backup on a separate part of your hard drive, allowing you to restore your
controller without additional media. The NI 8352/8353 also ships with an
OS Recovery CD that allows you to reinstall your operating system onto
your hard drive via an external CD-ROM. For more information about
these tools, refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK at ni.com/support.
Note Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files you want
to keep.

Cleaning
Caution Always disconnect the AC power cable before cleaning or servicing the chassis.
Exterior Cleaning
Cautions Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning, especially
through the top vents.
Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while
cleaning the chassis.
Do not use harsh chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the chassis. Avoid chemicals
that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a
soft-bristle brush. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the
chassis.
