How do I install software from a CD?
The compact size of the NI PXI-8109 does not allow for an integrated USB
CD/DVD-ROM drive. If you are using Windows XP, you have the
following options:
• USB CD/DVD-ROM—Windows XP supports installing from a
USB CD/DVD-ROM using a bootable installation CD.
• SCSI CD-ROM—Windows XP supports installing from a
SCSI CD-ROM using a bootable installation CD.
• 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 NI PXI-8109.
A USB CD/DVD-ROM drive is available from National Instruments,
part number 778492-01.
Upgrade Information
How do I upgrade system memory?
You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXI-8109 by
upgrading the DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXI-8109 from the PXI chassis. To
optimize both memory capacity and system performance, use the same size
and speed memory module in each of the two module slots. The use of
different size modules in each slot is supported, but system performance
will be slower than using two matched modules. However, two mismatched
modules will result in better performance than using a single module.
National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with
the NI PXI-8109 controller.
• PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066) 2 GB, 256 MB × 64, CL 7, 1.18 in. max
(NI part number 781508-2048)
• PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066) 4 GB, 512 MB × 64, CL 7, 1.18 in. max
(NI part number 781509-4096)
