Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8170 occupies the controller position in a PXI/CompactPCI chassis, with peripheral cards installed in the other chassis slots. NI's installation procedure covers controller insertion, peripheral-card installation, and connection of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

Software selection requires attention to historical driver support. NI's PXI Platform Services release history lists the PXI-8170 among controllers whose support was removed in version 3.2.2; do not assume a later software release supports this controller.

Supports installation of additional 144-pin SDRAM SO-DIMM memory in an open memory socket.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Where is the PXI-8170 installed in the chassis?

NI specifies Slot 1 of the PXI/CompactPCI chassis. Power off the chassis before installing the controller.

What memory format does the setup guide identify?

The guide identifies 144-pin SDRAM SO-DIMM memory and describes adding memory to an open socket. It does not establish the installed memory capacity of this catalog unit.

Can later PXI Platform Services releases be assumed to support the PXI-8170?

No. NI's release history explicitly lists removal of PXI-8170 support in PXI Platform Services 3.2.2. Verify the intended operating-system and driver combination before deployment.
