Installed System RAM
You can change the amount of installed RAM on the PXI-8150B Series by
installing DRAM SO-DIMMs. Refer to Appendix A,
more information on SO-DIMMs.
System CMOS
The PXI-8150B contains a backed-up memory used to store BIOS defaults
and configuration information.
To clear the CMOS contents, short the pins of W1 as shown in Figure 3-3b.
Plug the unit back into the mainframe and apply power momentarily. Turn
the power back off and remove the unit. Place the jumper back in the default
state.
Caution
Do not keep these two pins short-circuited. The computer cannot sustain the
CMOS memory when the power is turned off if you leave these two pins shorted.
