1 Introduction This chapter provides overview information for PXI Express and the NI PXIe-8130 embedded controller. Benefits of PXI Express The PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) industry standard, an open specification governed by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA), has quickly gained adoption and grown in prevalence in test, measurement, and control systems since its release in 1998. One of the key elements driving the rapid adoption of PXI is its use of PCI in the communication backplane.
Chapter 1 Introduction The demanding timing and synchronization requirements of instrumentation systems are met by the integrated features of PXI Express.
Chapter 1 Introduction Functional Overview This section contains functional descriptions of each major logic block on the NI PXIe-8130 embedded computer. NI PXIe-8130 Functional Description The NI PXIe-8130 is a modular PC in a PXI Express 3U-size form factor. Figure 1-1 is a functional block diagram of the NI PXIe-8130. Following the diagram is a description of each logic block shown.
Chapter 1 Introduction The NI PXIe-8130 consists of the following logic blocks on the CPU module and the I/O (daughter card) module. The CPU module has the following logic blocks: 1 • Socket S1 CPU is the socket definition for the AMD 2.3 GHz Turion 64 X2 processor. • The SO-DIMM block consists of two 64-bit DDR2 SDRAM sockets that can hold up to 2 GB each. • The CPU connects to the DDR2 SDRAM, and nVIDIA MCP55 Pro.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration of the NI PXI Platform Services software included with your controller. System integrators, configuration utilities, and device drivers can use these .ini files. The NI PXI Platform Services software uses the system module driver, chassis driver, and chassis.ini files to generate the PXI system description files (pxisys.ini and pxiesys.ini). Device drivers and other utility software read the pxiesys.ini and pxisys.ini files to obtain system information.
Chapter 2 1 1 DDR2 SO-DIMM Module Installation and Configuration 2 2 DDR2 SO-DIMM Socket Figure 2-6. Installing a DDR2 SO-DIMM in an NI PXIe-8130 Controller Hard Drive Recovery NI PXIe-8130 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.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration 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. Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files you want to keep.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration ExpressCard This section provides information on the installation and removal of ExpressCard modules. Installing an ExpressCard You can install an ExpressCard module while the NI PXIe-8130 is running. The NI PXIe-8130 will automatically detect the card. ExpressCards are generally marked with a symbol or a label to indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. To install an ExpressCard, complete the following steps.

4 Common Configuration Questions This chapter answers common configuration questions you may have when using a NI PXIe-8130 embedded controller. General Questions What do the LEDs on the NI PXIe-8130 front panel mean? Refer to the LED status descriptions in the Front Panel Features section of Chapter 3, I/O Information. After shutting down my NI PXIe-8130 controller, the Ethernet LEDs continue to blink.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions Boot Options What devices can I boot from? The NI PXIe-8130 can boot from the following devices: • The internal Serial ATA hard drive (or PATA hard drive for the NI PXIe-8130 Extended Temperature option) • An external SCSI hard drive or USB CD/DVD-ROM if an SCSI adapter, such as the PXI-8214, is used • A network PXE server on the same subnet • An external USB mass storage device such as a USB hard drive, USB CD/DVD-ROM, or USB key • An external USB floppy
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions 778713-02 is such a cable and is available through the online catalog at ni.com/products. Figure 4-1. Y-Splitter Cable What if I don’t have a Y-splitter cable? Can I still use a mouse and keyboard? If you do not have a Y-splitter cable, plug a USB keyboard into any USB connector. You can also plug a USB mouse into any USB connector. How do I connect a standard 25-pin LPT cable to the NI PXIe-8130? The NI PXIe-8130 uses a type C LPT connector.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions How do I install or reinstall the GPIB driver? The NI-488.2 driver for your GPIB port is installed by default when your controller is first shipped from the factory. To change the default installed driver, complete the following steps: 1. Download the latest GPIB driver from ni.com/downloads. 2. Install the driver and verify that the driver has properly detected the GPIB driver in the Device Manager. If you need more assistance, refer to ni.com/support/install.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions National Instruments offers the following types of SO-DIMMs for use with the NI PXIe-8130 controller. • PC2-5300 (DDR2 667) 1 GB, 128 MB × 64, CL 5, 1.18 in. max (NI part number 780031-1024) National Instruments has tested and verified that the DDR2 SO-DIMMs we sell work with the NI PXIe-8130. We recommend you purchase your DDR2 SO-DIMM modules from National Instruments. Other off-the-shelf DDR2 SO-DIMM modules are not guaranteed to work properly.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions Where do I get the latest software drivers? The latest National Instruments software is available from ni.com/downloads. For peripheral drivers, refer to KnowledgeBase 3H3COSD8, What Peripheral Drivers Should I Use with My PXI or VXI Controller?, at ni.com. My NI PXIe-8130 does not have an internal floppy drive. Is there a way to use an external drive? Yes. The NI PXIe-8130 controller supports and can boot from USB floppy drives.
5 Troubleshooting This chapter answers common troubleshooting questions you may have when using the NI PXIe-8130 embedded computer. What if the NI PXIe-8130 does not boot? Several problems can cause a controller not to boot. Here are some things to look for and possible solutions. Things to Notice: • Which LEDs come on? The Power OK LED should stay lit. The Drive LED should blink during boot as the disk is accessed.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting • Recover the hard drive on the controller. (Refer to the Hard Drive Recovery section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.) • Make sure the RAM is properly seated. My controller boots fine until I get to Windows, at which point I cannot read the screen. This may include garbled output, white screen, black screen, or an out of synch message from the monitor. This problem usually results from having the video card output set past the limits of the monitor.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 3. Move the jumper on W2 from pins 1–2 to pins 2–3 as shown in Figure 5-1. 4. Wait one second. Move the jumper back to pins 1–2. 5. Reinstall the controller in the chassis. Caution Do not leave the jumper on pins 2–3. Doing so decreases battery life. Also, the controller will not boot. 2 1 3 1 Clear CMOS Contents 2 Pin 1 3 Normal Operation (Default) Figure 5-1.
