Installing PXI-1045 on Dell Latitude (D830)

Hello,
 
Has anyone had any problems installing  the PXI-1045 chassis onto a Dell Latitude (D830) laptop?  If not, do you guys know if there is a particular driver that I "may" need to upload on the laptop to get the PXI chassis and Dell to communicate with each other.  I've heard from a colleague that this particular Dell D830 laptop does not work with any PXI chassis above an 8-slot configuration.  It seems like there should be some way to get two pieces of equipment to work together.  I'm not sure, maybe it's a BIOS problem....  Please Help!!!
 
Thanks in advance,
Ham7

Hi Ham7,

Have you tried updating the BIOS of the Dell laptop? I know that the D820 has been used together with the PXI-1045 before, but I'm not sure about the D830. There is more information about this here. There's also more information about troubleshooting compatibility issues here.

Let us know how it goes!
