Installing a DDR2 SO-DIMM in an NI PXIe-8101/8102 Controller
Hard Drive Recovery
NI PXIe-8101/8102 controllers include two methods of restoring the
original factory condition of your hard drive. Hard drive-based recovery
stores a factory backup on a separate portion of your hard drive allowing
you to restore your controller without additional media. The
NI PXIe-8101/8102 controller also ships with an
OS Recovery
DVD that
allows you to reinstall your operating system onto your hard drive through
an external USB DVD-ROM. For more information on these tools, refer to
KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK,
Hard Drive Recovery and OS Installation
for PXI and VXI Controllers
, at
ni.com/support
.
Note
Your system hot key is <F4>. To access the hard drive-based recovery tool, press and
hold <F4> when video first appears during the boot process.
If you need to recover your factory-installed operating system from a DVD,
you can use the included OS re-installation DVD with an external
USB DVD-ROM drive. Boot the PXI Express controller using the
OS re-installation DVD to recover the OS. After using the DVD to recover
the OS you also may need to reinstall other software.
Note
Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files you want
to keep.
