Upgrade Information

How do I upgrade system memory?

You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXI-8820 by
upgrading the SO-DIMM.

To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXI-8820 from the PXI chassis.

National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with
the NI PXI-8820 controller.

•

Replacement 2 GB RAM (NI part number 782911-2048)

•

Replacement/upgrade 4 GB RAM (NI part number 782911-4096)

•

Replacement/upgrade 8 GB RAM (NI part number 781736-8192)

Note

National Instruments has conducted thermal testing as well as mechanical shock and

vibration testing, and has verified that the SO-DIMMs we sell work with the NI PXI-8820.
We recommend you purchase your SO-DIMM modules from National Instruments. Other
off-the-shelf SO-DIMM modules are not guaranteed to work properly.
