+5 V Power Source
The +5 V terminals on the I/O connector supply +5 V referenced to D GND. Use these terminals
to power external circuitry.
Caution Never connect the +5 V power terminals to analog or digital ground or to
any other voltage source on the X Series device or any other device. Doing so can
damage the device and the computer. NI is not liable for damage resulting from such
a connection.
The power rating on most devices is +4.75 VDC to +5.25 VDC at 1 A.
Refer to the device specifications to obtain the device power rating.
Note (PCI Express X Series Devices) Some PCI Express X Series devices
supply less than 1 A of +5 V power unless you use the disk drive power connector.
