The compact size of the NI PXI-8183 does not allow for an integrated
CD-ROM drive. If you are using Windows XP, you have the following
options:

USB CD-ROM—Windows XP supports installing from a USB
CD-ROM using a bootable installation CD.

SCSI, LPT, or PC Card-based CD-ROM—Other types of CD-ROM
drives are available. Check with the vendor to make sure Windows XP
supports the drive.

Mapped network drive—You can use the 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 PXI-8183.
