Before installing the NI PCI-8361 MXI-Express x1 Device For PCI Remote Control, power down the computer and unplug it to ensure safety. Open the computer case and ground yourself by touching the metal power supply to discharge any static electricity. Select an available PCI slot for installing the NI PCI-8361 host card.

For computers requiring a low-profile form factor, replace the standard bracket on the PCI-8361 Controller Device NI. First, remove the existing bracket by unscrewing the two Phillips head screws and two standoff screws, saving them for later use.

Then, align and fit the provided low-profile bracket onto the MXI-Express x1 NI Device For PCI Remote Control PCI-8361. Ensure the mounting tabs rest against the back of the card and that the LED is correctly positioned in the bracket's display hole.

Finally, secure the low-profile bracket to the PCI-8361 Express Control NI using the saved screws. Tighten all screws to a maximum torque of 3.6 lb·in (0.407 N·m) to complete the installation of the MXI‑Express x1 Remote Controller PCI-8361 NI.
