How do I install software from a CD?
The compact size of the PXIe-8821 does not allow for an integrated USB CD/DVD-ROM
drive. You have the following options:
USB CD/DVD-
ROM
You can install from a USB CD/DVD-ROM using a bootable installation
CD.
SCSI CD-ROM
Other types of CD-ROM drives are available. Check with the vendor to
make sure Windows 7 supports the drive.
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 PXIe-8821.
A USB CD/DVD-ROM drive is available from National Instruments, part number 778492-01.
