How do I install software from a CD?
The compact size of the NI PXIe-8115 does not allow for an integrated
USB CD/DVD-ROM drive. You have the following options:
•
USB CD/DVD-ROM—You can install from a USB CD/DVD-ROM
using a bootable installation CD.
•
SCSI CD-ROM—Other types of CD-ROM drives are available.
Check with the vendor to make sure Windows XP supports the drive.
•
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 PXIe-8115.
A USB CD/DVD-ROM drive is available from National Instruments,
part number 778492-01.
