• An external USB mass storage device such as a USB hard drive or
CD-ROM
Note You should enable Legacy USB support to boot from USB devices. Refer to the
BIOS Setup section of Chapter 2, Installation and BIOS Setup, for more information.
• An external USB floppy drive
Note There are some limitations when booting from a USB device. Windows XP
can be installed from a USB CD-ROM, but earlier versions of Windows cannot. The
NI 8352/8353 BIOS configures the USB devices so that they will work in a DOS
environment.
How do I configure the controller to boot from these devices?
Press <Delete>, enter the BIOS, and select Boot. You can set the boot order
using <+> and <–>. Set the order by device type and set the order for the
devices listed within the device type. Refer to BIOS Setup in Chapter 2,
Installation and BIOS Setup, for more information.
Chassis Configuration
How do I set up the NI 8352/8353 to work with my PXI chassis?
Configuration of the PXI system is handled through Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX), included with the software pre-installed
on your NI 8352/8353. MAX creates the
pxisys.ini file, which defines
the layout and parameters of your PXI system.
The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
