Installing a DDR3 SO-DIMM in an NI PXIe-8135 Controller
Hard Drive Recovery
NI PXIe-8135 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 PXIe-8135
controller also ships with an
OS Recovery
CD that allows you to reinstall your operating system
onto your hard drive through an external USB CD/DVD-ROM. For more information on these
tools, refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK,
Hard Drive Recovery and OS Installation for PXI
and VXI Controllers
, at
ni.com/support
.
Note
The hard drive recovery 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 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.
