PXI-8170 Series Installation
This chapter contains basic instructions for setting up the PXI-8170
embedded computer.
You can use this chapter as a guide to configure and operate your PXI
system quickly using the PXI-8170 Series. This chapter assumes that you
intend to perform a basic configuration as follows:
•
You have one PXI mainframe in which you will be using the PXI-8170.
•
You will use the default settings.
The PXI-8170 Series default settings are listed below. If you want to use
a different configuration, refer to Appendix A,
, for information about changing the settings.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on your PXI-8170
module. To avoid such damage in handling the module, touch the antistatic plastic package
to a metal part of your PXI mainframe before removing the module from the package.
Default Settings
This section summarizes the hardware default settings for the PXI-8170
Series for easy reference. The module is set at the factory for the most
commonly used configuration.
Tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 list the factory-default settings (in bold type) and
options for the onboard jumpers and switches. Two jumpers and three
switches are on the CPU board, and three jumpers are on the I/O board.
