Installing an OS
NI PXIe-8880 controllers include a preinstalled OS. In some cases, you may want to
install a dierent OS.
You can install Windows 7 from a USB CD/DVD-ROM or use an external SCSI CD-ROM
with a PXI-SCSI adapter.
Note For additional assistance with installing or changing an operating
system, refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK, Hard Drive Recovery and OS
Installation for PXI, VXI, cRIO-908x, and cDAQ-913x Controllers, at
ni.com/support.
Installing from a USB CD/DVD-ROM
The NI PXIe-8880 supports the installation of Windows 7 from a USB CD/DVD-ROM.
As an alternative to a USB CD/DVD-ROM drive, you can use an external SCSI CD-ROM
with a PXI-SCSI adapter.
Note For additional assistance with installing or changing an operating
system, refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK, Hard Drive Recovery and OS
Installation for PXI, VXI, cRIO-908x, and cDAQ-913x Controllers, at
ni.com/support.
Installing the NI PXIe-8880 into a PXI Express Chassis
To install the NI PXIe-8880 into a PXI Express chassis, complete the following steps.
1. Plug in your chassis before installing the NI PXIe-8880. The power cord
grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you install
the module.

Caution To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical
hazards, leave the chassis powered o until you finish installing the
NI PXIe-8880 module.
2. Remove any filler panels blocking access to the system controller slot (Slot 1)
in the chassis.
3. Touch the metal part of the chassis case to discharge any static electricity that
might be on your clothes or body.
4. Remove the protective plastic covers from the four bracket-retaining screws as
shown in the following figure.
Figure 1. Removing Protective Screw Caps
a. Protective Screw Cap (4X)
5. Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Align the
NI PXIe-8880 with the card guides on the top and bottom of the system
controller slot.
Caution Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the
NI PXIe-8880. The module will not insert properly unless the handle

PXIe-8880 Getting Started
is in its downward position so that it does not interfere with the
injector rail on the chassis.
6. Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until the
handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.
7. Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the
backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXIe-8880 should
be even with the front panel of the chassis.
8. Tighten the four bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front
panel to secure the NI PXIe-8880 to the chassis.
9. Check the installation.
10. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB connectors. If you are using a
PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, a Y-splitter adapter is available to connect
both to a single USB connector. National Instruments oers a Y-splitter
adapter cable, part number 778713-02, available through the online catalog at
ni.com/products.
11. Connect the DisplayPort monitor video cable to the DisplayPort connector, or
use the DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter included with your controller to connect a
VGA monitor to the DisplayPort connector.
12. Connect devices to ports as required by your system configuration. Refer to
the NI PXIe-8880 Front Panel Connectors figure for front panel connector
locations.
13. Power on the chassis.
14. Verify that the controller boots. If it does not boot, refer to the
Troubleshooting section.

LabVIEW RT
This section explains soware installation and switch configuration for LabVIEW RT
on your PXI Express controller.
LabVIEW RT Soware Installation
The following section describes the necessary steps to get your PXI Express
embedded controller setup to run LabVIEW Real-Time. In this section you will
configure the boot mode of the controller, verify or change IP settings, and install
LabVIEW Real-Time soware.
Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW RT soware.
1. Boot the NI PXI Express embedded controller into the real-time operating
system. Refer to the LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches section to
configure the controller for booting into LabVIEW RT.
The PXI Express controller will automatically boot into LabVIEW RT Safe Mode
when no soware is installed. LabVIEW RT Safe Mode loads with the basic real-
time operating system and will automatically attempt to connect to the
network using DHCP. If DHCP is not available, it will then connect to the
network with a link-local IP address.
Tip You can connect a monitor to the controller to display startup
messages such as the IP address and MAC address.
2. Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on another computer in the
same subnet and expand the Remote Systems branch. MAX lists the PXI
Express controller as the model name of the controller followed by the MAC
address (for example, NI-PXIe-8880 00802f108562).
Note The other computer must have LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, and any
desired drivers installed.

PXIe-8880 Getting Started
Tip Record the PXI Express controller MAC address, located on the
side of the controller, for use in identifying the controller. The label
also can be removed and placed on the front of the controller for
easier access.
3. Click on the appropriate PXI Express controller entry to access the Network
Settings tab in the right pane view.
4. (Optional) Enter a name for the RT target in the Name text box.
5. (Optional) Set the network configuration options of the RT target in the IP
Settings section and click the Apply button.
For information about configuring network settings, refer to the Configuring
Network Settings book, accessible by browsing to MAX Remote Systems
Help » LabVIEW Real-Time Target Conguration » Conguring
Network Settings from the Contents tab of MAX Help.
Note When any IP or identification settings are changed, you will
be prompted to reboot the controller for the changes to take eect.
Click Yes to automatically reboot the RT target. You may also reboot
the controller by right-clicking on the target name under Remote
Systems and selecting Reboot.
Aer rebooting the PXI Express controller it will appear in the Remote
Systems category with the assigned name.
6. Expand the PXI Express controller view in the Remote Systems branch and
select Software.
7. Click the Add/Remove Software button in the toolbar to launch the
LabVIEW Real-Time Soware Wizard.
8. Install the LabVIEW Real-Time soware and device drivers that you require on
the RT target. Refer to the NI Web site at ni.com/info and enter the Info Code
etspc for the latest information about supported soware.
Aer installation of the soware the controller will automatically reboot and you
will now be able to program it using LabVIEW Real-Time.
