Notes National Instruments has tested and verified that the DDR3 SO-DIMMs we sell
work with the NI PXI-8109. We recommend you purchase your DDR3 SO-DIMM
modules from National Instruments. Other off-the-shelf DDR3 SO-DIMM modules
are not guaranteed to work properly.
When installing memory modules into the memory sockets, the lower socket must be
populated first, followed by the upper socket. If a single memory module is used, it must
be installed in the lower socket.
