Upgrading RAM

Note 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.

You can change the amount of installed RAM on the NI PXIe-8130 by
upgrading the SO-DIMMs.
To upgrade the RAM, remove the NI PXIe-8130 from the PXI Express
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 could result in better performance than using a
single module.
National Instruments offers the following SO-DIMM for use with the
NI PXIe-8130 controller.
