Unpacking

The NI PXIe-8880 ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge

from damaging device components. To prevent such damage when handling the

device, ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object,

such as your computer chassis, and complete the following steps:

1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before removing

the device from the package.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose

components or any other sign of damage.

3. Notify NI if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged

device into your chassis.

PXIe-8880 Getting Started

exceeds the requirements of MIL-PRF-28800F,

Class 3.)

Installing an OS

NI PXIe-8880 controllers include a preinstalled OS. In some cases, you may want to

install a dierent 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.

ni.com

PXIe-8880 Getting Started

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 oers 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 soware installation and switch configuration for LabVIEW RT

on your PXI Express controller.

LabVIEW RT Soware 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 soware.

Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW RT soware.

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 soware 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 Con󽘀guration » Con󽘀guring

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 eect.

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.

Aer 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 Soware Wizard.

8. Install the LabVIEW Real-Time soware 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 soware.

Aer installation of the soware the controller will automatically reboot and you

will now be able to program it using LabVIEW Real-Time.
