Issue Details

I cannot rename the PXIe-4080 module while the PXIe-4138 installed in the same chassis can be renamed without any issues. The chassis controller is connected to the host PC via the MXI-Express interface. How can I solve this issue?

Solution

To resolve the issue, disable the DMA Kernel Protection in the BIOS setting of the host PC. After disabling the Kernel DMA protection, reset the NI MAX configuration data.
