Software Driver Installation
How do I install software from a CD?
The compact size of the NI 3100/3110 does not allow for an integrated
CD-ROM drive. You have the following options:
• USB CD-ROM—You can install from a USB CD-ROM using a
bootable installation CD.
• Mapped network drive—You can use Ethernet to connect to another
computer. If you share the CD-ROM drive on the other computer,
you can map the shared CD-ROM drive to a drive letter on the
NI 3100/3110.
