Common Configuration Questions 4 This chapter answers common configuration questions you may have when using the NI 8171 series embedded controller. General Questions What do the LEDs on the NI 8171 series front panel mean? The green LED indicates the power supplies to/on the NI 8171 series are within spec. The supplies monitored are 3.3 V, 5 V, +12 V, and the internally regulated processor core voltage. The hard drive LED lights when there is hard drive activity on the NI 8171 series.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions • An external USB mass storage device such as a USB hard drive or CD-ROM. • An external USB floppy drive. Note There are some limitations when booting from a USB device. Windows does not support booting from USB devices. The NI 8171 series BIOS configures the USB devices so they will work in a DOS environment. Due to the Windows limitation, you also cannot install the OS from a USB CD-ROM.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions 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 PS/2 keyboard into the PS/2 combo connector. However, you cannot use a PS/2 mouse without the Y-splitter, so use a serial or USB mouse. How do I connect a standard 25-pin LPT cable to the NI 8171 series? The NI 8171 series uses a type C LPT connector. Most parallel port devices use a type A connector.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions • SCSI, LPT, or PC card-based CD-ROM—Other types of CD-ROM drives are available. Check with the vendor to make sure Windows 2000 supports the drive. • Mapped network drive—You can use the Ethernet to connect to another computer. If you share the CD-ROM drive on the other computer, you can map the shared CD-ROM drive to a drive letter on the NI 8171 series.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions 4. Map the shared CD-ROM drive to K:. 5. Run k:\recover.bat. Follow the prompts to recover the hard drive. Chassis Configuration How do I set up the NI 8171 series to work with a PXI-1020 or PXI-1025 chassis? The NI 8176 and NI 8175 controllers interface directly to the National Instruments PXI-1020 and PXI-1025 chassis. The interface contains signals to interface to the chassis LCD display, IDE CDROM drive, and PS/2 mouse and keyboard.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions Chassis Mouse and Keyboard The PXI-1020 has an integrated PS/2 mouse. The PXI-1025 has an integrated PS/2 keyboard and mouse. To simplify the configuration for these chassis, the NI 8171 series includes an internal USB-to-PS/2 adapter. When the NI 8171 series is installed in a PXI-1020 or PXI-1025 chassis, the USB-to-PS/2 adapter is enabled automatically.
Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions 1 2 1 SO-DIMM Module 2 SO-DIMM Socket Figure 4-2. Installing a SO-DIMM in an NI 8171 Series Controller How do I flash a new BIOS? You need to download the new BIOS from ni.com/support/pxisupp.htm. To download the new BIOS, follow the instructions on the Web site. Where do I get the latest software drivers?

Chapter 4 Common Configuration Questions The LPT port on the NI 8171 series can also be configured through the BIOS setup for floppy signals instead of LPT signals. See Chapter 3, I/O Information, for the floppy drive pinout. Windows NT4 Issues Does Windows NT4 support USB and plug and play? National Instruments recommends using a USB CD-ROM for software installation when using Windows 2000. However, Windows NT4 does not natively support USB.
5 Troubleshooting This chapter answers common troubleshooting questions you may have when using the NI 8171 series embedded computer. What if the NI 8171 series 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 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. You will need to boot Windows in Safe Mode. To do this, reboot the controller. As Windows begins to boot, hold down . For Windows NT, select Windows NT (VGA MODE) from the boot manager.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting I can’t change the display on the NI 8171 series controller from 640 × 480 to 800 × 600. What’s wrong? If you are using a PXI-1020 or PXI-1025 chassis, the integrated LCD limits the maximum resolution displayed. If you are not using a PXI-1020 or PXI-1025 chassis, be sure the video driver is installed. If it is not, see the Drivers.txt file on the hard drive or recovery CD-ROM. What if there is a power loss during a BIOS update? Create a crisis recovery disk. Unzip crisis.
