NI PXIe-8133 User Manual

My NI PXIe-8133 does not have an internal floppy drive. Is there a way
to use an external drive?

Yes. The NI PXIe-8133 controller supports and can boot from USB floppy
drives. Refer to the

Boot Options

section for more information.

A USB floppy drive is available from National Instruments, part
number 778492-02.

PXI Express Configuration

How do I use the SMB trigger on the front panel?

For details, refer to the

PXI Express Features

section of Chapter 2,

Installation and Configuration

Why doesn’t the NI PXIe-8133 work with the PXI-8220 or PXI-8221?

The serialized IRQ line is not routed to the Intel 5 Series chipset on the
NI PXIe-8133. This prevents PC cards using ISA interrupts from working
with the NI PXIe-8133.
