Hardware Installation
The following are general instructions for installing the NI PXIe-8830mc.
Complete the following steps to install the NI PXIe-8830mc in your PXI Express chassis.
1. Power off your PXI Express chassis, but leave it plugged in while installing the NI
PXIe-8830mc. The power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage
while you install the module.
Caution To protect both yourself and the chassis from electrical hazards,
leave the chassis off until you finish installing the NI PXIe-8830mc.
2. Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the slot in which you intend to
install the NI PXIe-8830mc.
3. Touch a metal part of the chassis to discharge any static electricity that might be on your
clothes or body.
4. Make sure the injector/ejector handle is in its downward position. Be sure to remove all
connector packaging and protective caps from retaining screws on the module.
5. Identify the slot in which the NI PXIe-8830mc will be installed in the chassis. Refer to
the following table to determine which slot types the NI PXIe-8830mc is compatible
with.

6. Align the NI PXIe-8830mc with the card guides on the top and bottom of the slot. Hold
the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis until the handle catches on the
injector/ejector rail.
Caution Do not raise the injector/ejector handle as you insert the NI
PXIe-8830mc. It will not insert properly unless the handle is in its downward
position so that it does not interfere with the injector/ejector rail on the chassis.
7. Raise the injector/ejector handle until the module firmly seats into the backplane
receptacle connectors. The front panel of the NI PXIe-8830mc should be even with the
front panel of the chassis.
8. Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the front panel to secure
the NI PXIe-8830mc to the chassis.
9. Replace or close any doors or covers to the chassis.
Powering On the PXImc System
The NI PXIe-8830mc powers on automatically when the chassis is powered on. To power on
the NI PXIe-8830mc, turn on the chassis. The NI PXIe-8830mc boots up to OS when the
system controller boots up when the chassis is powered on.
Powering Off the PXImc System
The NI PXIe-8830mc powers off automatically when the chassis is powered off. You also can
power off the NI PXIe-8830mc by shutting down the system controller.
Software Installation and Configuration
The NI PXIe-8830mc requires the NI-PXImc driver software to enable its features. Refer to
the readme.html file on the NI-PXImc driver DVD for software installation instructions.
LabVIEW RT Installation
This section explains software installation and switch configuration for LabVIEW RT on your
PXImc processor module.
LabVIEW RT Software Installation
The following section describes the necessary steps to set up your PXImc processor module to
run LabVIEW Real-Time. In this section you will configure the processor module boot mode,
verify or change IP settings, and install LabVIEW Real-Time software.
Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW RT software.
1. Boot the NI PXImc processor module into the real-time operating system.
The PXImc processor module automatically boots into LabVIEW RT Safe Mode when no
software is installed. LabVIEW RT Safe Mode loads with the basic real-time operating
4| ni.com | NI PXImc Devices Getting Started Guide
system and automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If DHCP is not
available, it then connects to the network with a link-local IP address.
2. Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on another computer in the same
subnet and expand the Remote Systems branch. MAX lists the PXImc processor module
as the model name of the processor module followed by the MAC address (for example,
NI-PXIe-8830mc 00802f108562).
Note The other computer must have LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, and any
desired drivers installed.
Tip Record the PXImc processor module MAC address, located on the side of
the processor module, for use in identifying the processor module. You also can
remove the label and place it on the front of the processor module for easier
access.
3. Click the appropriate PXImc processor module entry to access the Network Settings tab
in the right pane view.
4. (Optional) Enter a name for the RT target in the Name text box.
5. (Optional) Set the network configuration options of the RT target in the IP Settings
section and click the Apply button.
For information about configuring network settings, refer to Configuring Network
Settings in Measurement & Automation Explorer Help, accessible by browsing to MAX
Remote Systems Help»LabVIEW Real-Time Target Configuration»Configuring
Network Settings from the help Contents tab.
Note When any IP or identification settings are changed, you are prompted to
reboot the processor module for the changes to take effect. Click Yes to reboot
the RT target automatically. You also can reboot the processor module by right-
clicking on the target name under Remote Systems and selecting Reboot.
After rebooting the PXImc processor module, it appears in the Remote Systems category
with the assigned name.
6. Expand the PXImc processor module view in the Remote Systems branch and select
Software.
7. Click the Add/Remove Software button in the toolbar to launch the LabVIEW Real-
Time Software Wizard.
8. Install the LabVIEW Real-Time software and device drivers that you require on the RT
target. (At a minimum, you must install LabVIEW RT and PXImc drivers.) Refer to the
NI website at ni.com/info and enter the Info Code etspc for the latest information
about supported software.
After software installation, the processor module automatically reboots, and you now can
program it using LabVIEW Real-Time.
Note Refer to Getting Started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module on your host
computer for more information about setting up your RT target.

LabVIEW RT Configuration Switches
Use the LabVIEW RT configuration switches to configure LabVIEW RT if it is installed on
the processor module. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, these switches should remain in the
OFF position. The processor module reads these switches only after a system reset.
The NI PXIe-8830mc processor module includes the following LabVIEW RT configuration
switches:
• Switch 1—Boot LabVIEW RT: Set this switch to ON to boot LabVIEW RT.
• Switch 2—Boot Safe Mode: Set this switch to ON to boot LabVIEW RT into safe mode
to reconfigure TCP/IP settings and to download or update software from a host computer.
This switch overrides the behavior of Switch 1. Booting the processor module into safe
mode does not start the embedded LabVIEW RT engine. After changing the settings or
software, reboot the processor module with this switch OFF to resume normal operation.
• Switch 3—Disable Startup VI: Set this switch to ON to prevent VIs from automatically
running at startup if the processor module becomes inaccessible because of a startup VI.
• Switch 4—Reset IP Address: Set this switch to ON to reset the IP address and other
TCP/IP settings to their factory defaults. Use this switch if moving the processor module
to a different subnet or if the current TCP/IP settings are invalid.
Note By default, the target automatically attempts to connect to the network using
DHCP. If the target cannot initiate a DHCP connection, the target connects to the
network with a link-local IP address or 169.254.x.x.
The following figure shows the location of the LabVIEW RT configuration switches. The
switches are shown in the OFF position.
