Compliance  
Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference  
Regulations  
Determining FCC Class  
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC  
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only)  
or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products.  
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the  
Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.) Digital  
electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products.  
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired  
operation. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.  
Consult the FCC Web site at www.fcc.govfor more information.  
FCC/DOC Warnings  
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions  
in this manual and the CE marking Declaration of Conformity*, may cause interference to radio and television reception.  
Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department  
of Communications (DOC).  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by NI could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the  
FCC Rules.  
Class A  
Federal Communications Commission  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC  
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated  
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this  
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference  
at their own expense.  
Canadian Department of Communications

of buses.  
LabVIEW is a powerful and easy-to-use graphical programming  
environment you can use to acquire data from thousands of different  
instruments including USB, IEEE 488.2, VXI, serial, PLCs, and plug-in  
boards. LabVIEW helps you convert acquired data into meaningful results  
using powerful data analysis routines. Add-on tools provide additional  
specialized functionality. For more information, visit ni.com/labview  
and ni.com/toolkits.  
If you prefer to use Microsoft’s Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual  
Studio .NET for the core of your application, Measurement Studio adds  
tools for measurement and automation to each language. For more  
information, visit ni.com/mstudio.  
LabWindows/CVI is an interactive ANSI C programming environment  
designed for building virtual instrument applications. LabWindows/CVI  
includes a drag-and-drop editor for building user interfaces, a complete  
ANSI C environment for building your test program logic, and a collection

Chapter 1  
Getting Started  
National Instruments modular instruments use specialized drivers suited to  
each product’s specialization. Express VIs provide customized, interactive  
programming of instruments in a single interface, and soft front panels  
provide an interface for testing the functionality of each instrument with  
no programming required. NI switches, DMMs, high-speed DIO,  
high-speed digitizers, and sources each have customized drivers for  
high-end modular instrumentation systems. RF applications leverage  
two drivers, NI-RFSG and NI-RFSA, and dynamic signal acquisition is  
available through NI-DAQmx. For more information, visit ni.com/  
modularinstruments.  
You can expand the timing and triggering functionality of your PXI system  
with PXI timing and synchronization products. These products provide  
precision clock sources, custom routing of triggers for multichassis  
synchronization, clock sharing, and more, and are programmed with  
NI-Sync. For more information, visit ni.com/pxi.  
NI-VISA is the National Instruments implementation of the VISA  
specification. VISA is a uniform API for communicating and controlling  
USB, Serial, GPIB, PXI, VXI, and various other types of instruments. This  
API aids in the creation of portable applications and instrument drivers. For  
information about writing your own PXI instrument driver with NI-VISA,  
refer to the NI-VISA Help and the readme.txtfile in the NI-VISA  
directory. For more information, visit ni.com/visa.  
With LabVIEW for Linux and support for more than 200 devices on Linux  
with the NI-DAQmx driver, you can now create virtual instruments based  
on the Linux OS. The NI-VISA driver for Linux has improved instrument  
control in Linux, and NI modular instruments are partially supported. For  
more information, visit ni.com/linux.

for the U.S. that connects the ground line to the chassis ground. To  
minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use to  
power the chassis has an appropriate earth safety ground.  
Connecting to Power Source  
Attach input power through the rear AC inlet using the appropriate  
AC power cable supplied.  
Caution To completely remove power, you must disconnect the AC power cable.  
The power switch allows you to power on the chassis or place it in standby  
mode. Push the power switch to the On position (if not already on). Observe  
that all fans become operational and the power indicator is lit.

Hard Drive Recovery  
The NI 8352/8353 includes two methods of restoring the original factory  
condition of your hard drive. Hard drive-based recovery stores a factory  
backup on a separate part of your hard drive, allowing you to restore your  
controller without additional media. The NI 8352/8353 also ships with an  
OS Recovery CD that allows you to reinstall your operating system onto  
your hard drive via an external CD-ROM. For more information about  
these tools, refer to KnowledgeBase 2ZKC02OK at ni.com/support.  
Note Recovering the OS erases the contents of your hard disk. Back up any files you want  
to keep.  
Installing an OS  
The NI 8352/8353 includes a preinstalled OS. In some cases, you may want  
to reinstall the OS or install a different OS from the integrated CD-ROM  
drive. To install from the CD-ROM drive, you must change the boot  
device; refer to the Boot Priority Order/Excluded from Boot Orders section  
for more information.  
Cleaning  
Caution Always disconnect the AC power cable before cleaning or servicing the chassis.  
Exterior Cleaning  
Cautions Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning, especially  
through the top vents.  
Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while  
cleaning the chassis.  
Do not use harsh chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the chassis. Avoid chemicals  
that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.  
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a  
soft-bristle brush. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the  
chassis.

Chapter 4  
Common Configuration Questions  
The PXI specification allows many combinations of PXI chassis and  
system modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of  
PXI chassis and system modules must document the capabilities of their  
products. The minimum documentation requirements are contained in  
.inifiles, which consist of ASCII text. System integrators, configuration  
utilities, and device drivers can use these .inifiles.  
The capability documentation for the chassis is contained in a  
chassis.inifile provided by the chassis manufacturer. The information  
in this file is combined with information about the system controller to  
create a single system initialization file called pxisys.ini(PXI System  
Initialization). The NI 8352/8353 uses MAX to generate the pxisys.ini  
file from the chassis.inifile.  
Device drivers and other utility software read the pxisys.inifile to  
obtain system information. For detailed information about initialization  
Upgrade Information  
How do I upgrade system memory?  
Refer to Upgrading Memory in Appendix B, Hardware Configuration.  
How do I flash a new BIOS?  
You can download the new BIOS from ftp.ni.com/support/pxi/.  
For more information, refer to KnowledgeBase 3H3COSD8 at ni.com.  
Where do I get the latest software drivers?  
The latest National Instruments software is available from ni.com/  
downloads/. For peripheral drivers, refer to KnowledgeBase 3H3COSD8  
at ni.com.  
My NI 8352/8353 does not have an internal floppy drive. Is there a way  
to use an external drive?  
Yes. The NI 8352/8353 controller supports and can boot from USB floppy  
drives. A USB floppy drive will not work with Windows NT4, but will  
work with Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Refer to the Boot Options  
section for more information.  
A USB floppy drive is available from National Instruments, part number  
778492-02.

Troubleshooting  
This chapter answers common troubleshooting questions you may have  
when using the NI 8352/8353.  
What if the NI 8352/8353 does not boot?  
Several problems can cause a controller not to boot. Here are some things  
to look for and possible solutions.  
Things to Notice:  
Which LEDs come on? The power indicator LED should stay lit. The  
hard disk drive LEDs should blink during boot as the disk is accessed.  
What appears on the display? Does it hang at some particular point  
(BIOS, Operating System, and so on)? If nothing appears on the  
screen, try a different monitor. Does your monitor work with a  
different PC? If it hangs, note the last screen output that you saw for  
reference when consulting National Instruments technical support.  
What has changed about the system? Did you recently move the  
system? Was there electrical storm activity? Did you recently add  
a new module, memory chip, or piece of software?  
Has the system overheated? If the Overheat/FanFail LED is lit, this  
indicates overheating. Unplug the AC power cord from the server and  
allow it to cool down before powering it on again.  
Things to Try:  
Make sure the NI 8352/8353 is plugged in to a working power source.  
Remove any nonessential cables or devices.  
slots.  
Clear the CMOS. (Refer to the Clear CMOS Jumper: JBT1 section of  
Appendix B, Hardware Configuration.)  
Recover the hard drive on the NI 8352/8353. (Refer to the Hard Drive  
Recovery section of Chapter 2, Installation and BIOS Setup.)

Troubleshooting  
My NI 8352/8353 boots fine until I get to Windows, at which point I  
cannot read the screen. This may include garbled output, white screen,  
black screen, or an out of synch message from the monitor.  
This problem usually results from having the video card output set past the  
limits of the monitor. You will need to boot Windows in Safe Mode. To do  
this, reboot the NI 8352/8353. As Windows begins to boot, hold down  
<F8>. You should now be able to reset the video driver to lower settings.  
Try setting the resolution to 640 × 480 and the refresh rate to 60 Hz. Once  
you reboot, you can raise these values again, using the test option in  
Windows. These settings are accessible through the Advanced tab of the  
Display item in the Control Panel. Alternately, you can try a different  
monitor, preferably a newer and larger one.  
My system boots fine as long as a particular module is not in my  
chassis.  
The most common cause of this is a damaged module. Try the module in a  
different chassis or with a different controller. Also, remove any external  
cables or terminal blocks connected to the system. If the module does not  
work in these cases, it is likely damaged. Contact the module manufacturer  
for further troubleshooting.  
Refer to the KnowledgeBase or product manuals section at ni.comfor  
more information specific to the chassis and module with which you are  
having difficulties.  
How do I set Windows to prompt me before shutting down when I press  
the power button?  
Select Start»Control Panel»Power Options to open the Power Options  
Properties window. Select the Advanced tab. In the Power buttons  
section, select Ask me what to do from the pull-down menu. When this is  
selected, Windows prompts you to cancel, shut down, or restart when you  
press the power button.

Clear CMOS Jumper: JBT1  
Caution Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.  
Caution For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system, remove  
the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS. Do not use the PW_ON connector  
to clear CMOS.  
Use JBT1 to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this “jumper” consists of contact  
pads to prevent accidental CMOS clearing. To clear CMOS, use a metal  
object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to  
short the connection.

Hardware Configuration  
Fan Power Connectors: Fan1 to Fan6  
The NI 8352/8353 has six fan connectors (Fan1 to Fan6). Fan6 is  
designated as the CPU fan.  
Note All fans are 4-pin fans. However, pins 1–3 of the fan headers are backward  
compatible with traditional 3-pin fans.  
The onboard fan speeds are controlled by the Fan Speed Mode (Thermal  
Management) in the BIOS Hardware Monitoring section. When using  
Thermal Management settings, use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans on the  
motherboard. Do not use 3-pin fans and 4-pin fans on the same board. The  
default setting is disabled, which allows the onboard fans to run at full  
speed.

Hardware Configuration  
Dual-Channel Memory Configuration  
For optimum memory performance, you can use dual-channel memory  
configurations. In these configurations, identical memory is installed  
in channels A and B. Figures B-19, B-20, and B-21 show allowed  
configurations for dual-channel memory mode.  
Note Due to chipset limitations, only the following operating systems support 8 GB  
memory:  
32-bit: Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition  
64-bit: Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition, Windows XP Professional x64  
Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition  
You can install a maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot. However, only  
DDR2 667 MHz 2 GB density modules are available for this configuration.  
Some older versions of DDR2-667 may not match the Intel on-die  
temperature requirement and are automatically downgraded to run at  
533 MHz. If this occurs, contact your memory vendor to check the  
ODT value.  
Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory available for  
operational use is reduced when you use 4 GB of RAM. Refer to  
Table B-6 for details.
