Issue Details

If a 16 GB DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM RAM for PXIe-8822/8842/8862 (788899-01) is added to a PXIe-8862, 2.6 GHz 8-core i7 controller, LabVIEW RT, no TPM (787987-33), what will the total memory capacity be?

Solution

PXIe-8862 controller comes with two standard 8GB DD4-3200MHz pre-installed in the two available RAM slot. You can upgrade this by purchasing additional 16GB RAM (788899-01) to replace one or both of the 8GB RAM card to have a total of 24GB or 32GB of RAM.

Additional Information

The "maximum" mentioned in the datasheet means up to 2x 16GB, one 16GB SODIMM for each SODIMM slot on the controller. In fact, 88x2 should support 32GB SODIMM. However, 32GB SODIMM wasn't widely available during the development time so only 16GB SODIMM was validated. Hence the datasheet only stated up to 2x 16GB instead of 2x 32GB.
