PXIe-8861 Getting Started Guide
Getting Started with the PXIe-8861
This document includes instructions for installing and configuring your
PXIe-8861PXI Express controller module.
© 2019–2020National Instruments Corporation. All rights reserved. Refer to the
<National Instruments>\_Legal Information directory for information about NI

compliance.
Getting Started with the PXIe-8861
This section includes instructions for unpacking and installing your PXIe-8861
controller. It also describes the controller's front panel connectors.
Caution Using the PXIe-8861 controller in a manner not described in
this guide can impair the protection the controller provides.
Unpacking
The PXIe-8861 ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge from
damaging device components. To prevent such damage when handling the device,
ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as
your computer chassis, and complete the following steps:
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before removing
the device from the package.
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose
components or any other sign of damage.
3. Notify NI if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged
device into your chassis.

Installing the PXIe-8861 into a PXI Express Chassis
To install the PXIe-8861 into a PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps.
1. Plug in your chassis before installing the PXIe-8861. The power cord grounds
the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install the
module.
Caution In some NI chassis, you must ensure that the power LED
is o. For more information about chassis power behavior, refer to
the user manual for the specific chassis.
Caution To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical
hazards, leave the chassis o until you finish installing the
PXIe-8861.
2. Remove any panels blocking access to the system controller slot (Slot 1) in the
chassis.
3. Touch the metal part of the chassis case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
4. Remove the protective plastic covers from the four bracket-retaining screws as
shown in the following figure.

PXIe-8861 Getting Started Guide
5. Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Align the
PXIe-8861 with the card guides on the top and bottom of the system controller
slot.
Caution Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the
PXIe-8861. The module will not insert properly unless the handle is
in its downward position so that it does not interfere with the
injector rail on the chassis.
6. Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until the
handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
7. Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the PXIe-8861 should be
even with the front panel of the chassis.
8. Tighten the four bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the PXIe-8861 to the chassis.
9. Check the installation.
10. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors.
11. Connect the DisplayPort monitor video cable or adapter to the DisplayPort
connector.
12. Connect devices to ports as required by your system configuration.
13. Power on the display.
14. Power on the chassis.
15. Verify that the controller boots. If it does not boot, refer to the
Troubleshooting section.

Front Panel Features
The PXIe-8861 has two front panel LEDs that show PC status:
■ DRIVE LED— Indicates when an access to the internal drive is occurring.
■ PWR OK/FAULT LED—Indicates the controller status. The LED indicates one
of the following states:
■Green ON steady—PXI and onboard power is on and within regulation
limits.
■Green BLINKING—The controller has entered the so o state and is safe
to power down.
Note This status is applicable only when the chassis is set to
Manual.

PXIe-8861 Getting Started Guide
■Green FADING—The controller has entered the standby (S3) state.
■OFF—The controller is powered o.
■Red BLINKING—The controller detected a power rail fault when trying to
boot.
■Red SOLID—The controller detected a thermal fault and has shut down to
protect the system.
■ USER LEDs — Two bi-color green/yellow LEDs (USER1 and USER2) that you
can define to meet the needs of your LabVIEW application.
Removing the PXIe-8861 from a PXI Express Chassis
To remove the PXIe-8861 from a PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps.
1. Power o the chassis.
2. Remove any cables that may be attached to the controller front panel.
3. Unscrew the four bracket-retaining screws in the front panel.
4. Press the injector/ejector handle down.
5. Slide the unit out of the chassis.
Note If the PXI Express chassis Inhibit Mode Selector Switch is not in the
Default position, any attempt to shut down the PXIe-8861 through the
push button reset or using Windows will result in the controller Power OK
LED blinking. The user must use the Remote Inhibit pin on the Remote
Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring Connector to turn o the chassis. Refer to
the PXI Express chassis user manual for details on the functionality of the
Remote Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring controls. For chassis without a
Remote Inhibit pin, turn o the chassis AC power.
Installing the Removable Hard Drive (Removable Hard Drive Variant
Only)
To install the removable hard drive, complete the following steps:

PXIe-8861 Getting Started Guide
1. Hold the removable hard drive so that the top side is facing le, as shown in
the following figure.
2. Insert the removable hard drive so that it is completely seated in its connector.
The insertion resistance will increase for the final connector mate.
3. If the removable hard drive does not easily insert, do not force the drive.
Check the alignment and try again.
