Upgrade Information
How do I upgrade system memory?
You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXIe-8100 by
upgrading the DDR2 SO-DIMMs.
To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXIe-8100 from the PXI Express
chassis. Larger memory capacity will improve overall system performance.
National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with
the NI PXIe-8100 controller.
