General Questions

How do I check the configuration of the memory, hard drive, time/date,
and so on?
You can view these parameters in the BIOS setup. To enter the BIOS setup,
reboot the NI VXIpc-882 and press <Delete> during the memory tests.
Refer to the BIOS Configuration section of Chapter 3, Configuration and
Default Settings, for more information.

Operating System, Drivers, and Software

What important files and directories are preinstalled on my hard
drive?
Your hard drive includes a directory called images in its root that
contains software and soft copies of manuals for your controller
peripherals. The directory structure under the images directory is logically
organized into several levels.
In the images directory itself, you will find a manuals directory,
an os directory, and directories for each computer peripheral or installed
driver.
The manuals directory contains quick reference guides, technical
reference manuals, and National Instruments software manuals, all in
Adobe Acrobat format. To access any manual, change your directory to
c:\images\manuals and list the contents of that directory. For copies of
other National Instruments product manuals, visit ni.com/manuals.
