This guide describes how to install the Pentium upgrade CPU card into
the VXIpc-850 embedded computer.
With the Pentium upgrade CPU card, you can upgrade your VXIpc-850
Pentium system to faster performance. For example, you can install a
200 MHz Pentium upgrade CPU card into a VXIpc-850/100 and gain the
same performance levels as the National Instruments VXIpc-850/200.
There are no performance differences between an upgraded module
versus a new one.
To install the Pentium upgrade CPU card, you will need the following
items.
•
Pentium upgrade CPU card
•
Thermal interface pad
•
1/4 in. nut driver
•
Phillips head screwdriver
To remove the original CPU card, perform the following steps.
1. Remove the 12 screws from the cover of the VXIpc-850 module.
There are five screws on the top side, three on the right side, and four
on the bottom side. Keep these screws in a safe place.
2. Grasp the cover close to the front panel. Lift the cover upward
slightly to dislodge it from the front panel and slide it backwards,
freeing it from the VXI connectors on the back side.
