PXImc Desktop Target Hardware Configuration

Hello NI Users,

I would like to build up a testbench by using PXImc with an PXIe-chassis (1082) and a Desktop Target (PCIe-8381), both running Pharlap ETS 13.1.

Unfortunatly I need a special hardware configuration for my x86. You can see the minimum requirements below:

• CPU: 4 real cores or bigger (without HT)
• PCIe 8x-Slot (or bigger)
• PCIe 4x-Slot (or bigger)
• PCIe 1x-Slot (or bigger) in case the ethernet adapter is not supported
• PCI-Slot

We tried a configuration with an DELL OptiPlex 9020. The motherboard has an Intel® Q87 Express Chipset. And we tried it on another motherboard with an Intel® Q67 Express Chipset. Both had the two problems mentioned below

Other x86 Desktop Computers from around 2009 with a DualCore CPU can establish the connection and PXImc works fine. But the boards we tested did not have the required PCI-Slots.

Problems:

1. One core of the x86 is stuck at 100% if the PXImc cards (PXIe-8383mc and PCIe-8381) are connected.
2. Both targets can't establish the PXImc connection to the PXI-chassis. We can find the PCIe-8381 in MAX but not the PXI-8383mc (When using the older x86 we can see both the 8381 and the 8383 in the x86 target in MAX)

Based on information given by a NI Support Member our installation process was:

1. Install Pharlap, LabView RT 14 and PXImc 14.0.0 with the cards removed from the pc
2. Install PCIe8381 and connect to PXIe8383mc
3. Boot into Pharlap

So I need your help, who of you works succesfully with PXImc and which motherboard/chipsets/hardware configurations are you using?

I have been on the reguirement page of NI http://www.ni.com/white-paper/8239/en/#toc5 but under the point Motherboard the Informations does not help at all.

I'm looking forward on your recommendations.

Thanks

Andreas
