NI PXI/PCI-5411
Installing the Optional Memory Module

The standard onboard memory for the NI PXI/PCI-5411 is 4 MB. You can upgrade to a 16 MB memory module to store large waveforms directly on the card. Perform the following steps to install the new memory module:

1. Turn off the computer and remove the top cover or access port to the I/O channel.
2. Unscrew the bracket and remove the NI 5411 from the slot it has been plugged into.
3. Gently place the NI 5411 on a flat surface with the component and memory module side facing up.
4. Unfasten the two screws on the side of the memory module.
5. Gently unplug the memory module from the main module and store the old memory module in an antistatic bag to avoid damage to the components.
6. Properly align the new 16 MB memory module over the connectors and plug it into the connectors.
7. Fasten the two screws you removed in step 4.
8. Follow the regular installation steps described in NI Signal Generators Getting Started Guide.
