How do I install software from a CD?
The compact size of the NI PXIe-8133 does not allow for an integrated
USB CD/DVD-ROM drive. If you are using Windows 7 or Windows XP,
you have the following options:
•
USB CD/DVD-ROM
—Windows 7 and Windows XP support
installing from a USB CD/DVD-ROM using a bootable installation
CD.
•
SCSI CD-ROM
—Windows 7 and Windows XP supports installing
from a SCSI CD-ROM using a bootable installation CD.
•
Mapped network drive
—You can use the Ethernet to connect to
another computer. If you share the USB CD/DVD-ROM drive on the
other computer, you can map the shared USB CD/DVD-ROM drive to
a drive letter on the NI PXIe-8133.
A USB CD/DVD-ROM drive is available from National Instruments,
part number 778492-01.
Upgrade Information
How do I upgrade system memory?
You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXIe-8133 by
upgrading the DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXIe-8133 from the PXI Express
chassis. To optimize both memory capacity and system performance, use
the same size and speed memory module in each of the two module slots.
The use of different size modules in each slot is supported, but system
performance will be slower than using two matched modules. However,
two mismatched modules will result in better performance than using a
single module.
National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with
the NI PXIe-8133 controller.
