1 Introduction
The ADLINK PXI-3980 PXI™ embedded controller, based on
the Intel® Core™ i7 processor, is specifically designed for PXIbased testing systems, providing a rugged and stable operating environment for a wide variety of testing and measurement applications.
Combining state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i7-2715QE 2.1 GHz processors, and up to 16 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 memory, the PXI3980 utilizes four separate computing engines on a single
processor, enabling execution of four independent tasks simultaneously in a multitasking environment.
PXI-based testing systems typically make up a PXI platform
and diversified standalone instruments for complex testing
tasks. The PXI-3980 provides ample interface choices,
including GPIB, USB2.0, and USB3.0, for connecting and controlling instruments. The PXI-3980 also provides dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, one for LAN connection and the other for controlling
LXI instruments. With flexible instrument control interfaces and
mechanical and electronic reliability, the ADLINK PXI-3980 is
more than equal to the challenges of the most demanding
PXI-based testing systems.

2.2 Operating System Installation
For more detailed information about the operating system, refer to
the documentation provided by the operating system manufacturer. Preferred/supported operating systems for PXI-3980 are:
X Windows XP
X Windows 7 32/64-bit
X For other OS support, please contact ADLINK
Most operating systems require initial installation from a hard
drive, floppy drive, or CD-ROM drive. The PXI-3980 controller supports USB CD-ROM drive, USB flash disk, USB external hard
drive, or a USB floppy drive as the first boot device. Please see
Section 4.5: Boot Setup for information about setting the boot
devices. These devices should be configured, installed, and tested
with the supplied drivers before attempting to load the new operating system.
Read the release notes and installation documentation
provided by the operating system vendor. Be sure to
NOTE:
NOTE:
read all the README files or documents provided on the
distribution disks, as these typically note documentation
discrepancies or compatibility problems.
1. Select the appropriate boot device order from the BIOS
Boot Setup Menu based on the OS installation media
used. For example, if the OS is distributed on a bootable
installation CD, select USB CD-ROM as the first boot
device and reboot the system with the installation CD in
the USB CD-ROM drive
2. Proceed with the OS installation as directed and be sure
to select appropriate device types if prompted. Refer to
the appropriate hardware manuals for specific device
types and compatibility modes of ADLINK PXI products.
3. When installation is complete, reboot the system and set
