Note
National Instruments has tested and verified that the DDR2 SO-DIMMs we sell
work with the NI PXI-8104. We recommend you purchase your DDR2 SO-DIMM
modules from National Instruments. Other off-the-shelf DDR2 SO-DIMM modules
are not guaranteed to work properly.

Installing a DDR2 SO-DIMM in an NI PXI-8104 Controller
Hard Drive Recovery
NI PXI-8104 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 PXI-8104
controller also ships with an OS Recovery CD that allows you to reinstall
your operating system onto your hard drive through an external CD-ROM.
For more information on these tools refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK

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.
