The compact size of the NI PXI-8183 does not allow for an integrated
CD-ROM drive. If you are using Windows XP, you have the following
options:
• USB CD-ROM—Windows XP supports installing from a USB
CD-ROM using a bootable installation CD.
• SCSI, LPT, or PC Card-based 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 CD-ROM drive on the other
computer, you can map the shared CD-ROM drive to a drive letter
on the NI PXI-8183.
