Installation and Configuration
If you need to recover your factory-installed operating system from a CD, you can use the
included OS re-installation CD with an external USB CD/DVD-ROM drive. Boot the
PXI Express controller using the OS re-installation CD to recover the OS. You also may need to
reinstall other software after using the CD to recover the OS.
Note
Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files
you want to keep.
Installing an OS
NI PXIe-8880 controllers include a preinstalled OS. In some cases, you may want to install a
different OS. When doing so, consider the following guidelines.
Installing from a USB CD/DVD-ROM
The NI PXIe-8880 supports the installation of Windows 7 from a USB CD/DVD-ROM. As an
alternative to a USB CD/DVD-ROM drive, you can use an external SCSI CD-ROM with a
PXI-SCSI adapter.
Note
For additional assistance with installing or changing an operating system,
refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK,
