Overview
NI 8352 Shipping Components
The NI 8352 and NI 8353 are high-performance, Intel Core 2 Duo/Core 2
Quad processor-based, server-class controllers for use in PXI or PXI
Express systems. In addition to high computing performance, these
controllers provide high sustainable I/O bandwidth when bundled
with an NI MXI-Express kit. With standard RAID 0 configured hard drives
for Windows-based systems, these controllers are ideal for high-end
test and measurement applications.
• NI 8352 controller
• All peripherals listed in table
• Two risers for x8 PCI Express and 32-bit PCI expansion cards
(no MXI remote control boards installed)

Multicore Processor
NI 8352 and NI 8353 rack-mount controllers include the dual-core Intel
Core 2 Duo and quad-core Intel Core 2 Quad processors, respectively.
Multicore processors contain two or more cores, or computing engines,
in one physical package. These processors can simultaneously execute
multiple computing tasks, which is advantageous in multitasking
environments such as Windows XP, where several applications run
simultaneously. Two applications, such as NI LabVIEW and Microsoft
Excel, can each execute on a separate core at the same time, which
improves the overall system performance. Multithreaded applications,
such as LabVIEW, take full advantage of multicore processors as they
automatically separate their tasks into independent threads. A multicore
processor can simultaneously execute these threads.
Rack-Mount 1U 2.4 GHz Dual-/Quad-Core Controllers for PXI and PXI Express
Deterministic Performance with
Real-Time OS and NI 8353 RT
National Instruments offers a version of the NI 8353 rack-mount
controller, called the NI 8353 RT, that works with the LabVIEW Real-Time
operating system. With this development platform, you can build realtime measurement and control applications with high determinism. You
develop your LabVIEW application with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module
on Windows and download the program to your NI 8353 RT real-time
controller via Ethernet. The embedded code executes on a real-time OS,
so you can use powerful and flexible LabVIEW development tools to
build reliable, real-time solutions.
RAID Configurations
Redundant array of independent disk (RAID) data storage schemes divide
and/or replicate data among multiple hard drives. They are used to
provide increased data reliability and/or increased I/O performance. The
NI 8352 and NI 8353 (Windows version) support both RAID 0 (stripped)
and RAID 1 (mirrored) configurations with multiple SATA II hard drives.
A RAID 0 configuration increases the rate at which a computer can
write data to and read data from disk by evenly distributing data among
multiple hard drives. This is beneficial in applications that require
high-speed data streaming to/from disk. The NI 8352 and NI 8353 are
available with factory-configured RAID 0 configurations. Refer to the
table for information on hard-drive configurations for these controllers.

Connectivity to PXI or PXI Express Systems
The NI 8352 and NI 8353 have an empty expansion slot that can
be configured either as a x8 PCI Express slot or a 32-bit PCI slot.
You can populate this slot with a MXI-Express or MXI-4 card to create
a software-transparent link, which requires no programming, to a
PXI or PXI Express chassis. Refer to the PXI advisor for all possible
configurations at ni.com/pxiadvisor.
Applications and Acoustic Noise
The NI 8352 and NI 8353 are designed to maximize performance in
automated and manufacturing test applications. They are optimized purely
for performance, and, like other server-class computers, use high-speed
cooling fans, which are relatively noisy.
Memory Options
The NI 8352 and NI 8353 have four DIMM sockets (dual-channel) for
high-bandwidth DDR2 SDRAM. The following memory options are
available for both of these controllers:
• 1 GB standard (2 x 512 MB DIMMs, two sockets empty)
• 2 GB upgrade – 3 GB total (2 x 512 MB and 2 x 1 GB DIMMs)
• 4 GB upgrade – 4 GB total (4 x 1 GB DIMMs)
