Installing a DDR2 SO-DIMM in an NI PXI-8106 Controller
Hard Drive Recovery
NI PXI-8106 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-8106
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 the documentation on your
hard drive in the
c:\Images\Recovery
directory or KnowledgeBase
2ZKC02OK at
ni.com/support
.
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.
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 CD-ROM
drive such as a USB CD-ROM drive. Boot the PXI 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.
