without additional media. The NI PXIe-8840 Quad-Core controller also ships with an OS
Recovery DVD that allows you to reinstall your operating system onto your hard drive through
an external USB CD/DVD-ROM. For more information about these tools, refer to
KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK,
Hard Drive Recovery and OS Installation for PXI and VXI
Controllers

.
Note
The hard drive recovery 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 CD/DVD-ROM drive. Boot the PXI
Express controller using the OS re-installation DVD to recover the OS. You also may need to
reinstall other software after using the DVD to recover the OS.
Note
Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files
you want to keep.
