Caution
Changing settings in this menu may result in an unstable or unbootable controller.
If this happens, follow the procedures outlined in the
section to restore
BIOS settings to their factory defaults.
The Advanced setup menu includes the following settings:
•
Reset Configuration Data—A portion of the EEPROM on the
controller is designated as the Extended System Configuration Data
region (ESCD). The BIOS and Plug-and-Play operating systems use
this table to store the Last Known Good configuration of system
peripherals. If you experience resource conflicts or peripheral
malfunction, set this setting to Yes to force the BIOS to recreate the
ESCD on the next reboot. This is rarely necessary.
•
Integrated Peripherals—Use this setting to bring up the Integrated
Peripherals submenu. Refer to the
Integrated Peripherals Submenu
section for more information.
•
Quick Boot Mode—When you enable this option, certain lengthy
BIOS tests that rarely fail are skipped to shorten controller boot time.
The default is Enabled.
•
Summary Screen—This setting controls the display of the summary
screen shown after BIOS completes its initialization, but before
booting takes place. You can disable this screen in the interest of
shortening controller boot time. The default is Disabled.
•
PXE Network Boot—This setting enables the option for booting from
a network PXE server on the subnet. The default is Disabled.
•
After Power Failure—This setting controls how the PXI Express
controller should behave after an AC power loss event occurs. The
controller can be configured to Stay Off when power is restored or
Turn On when power is restored. The default is Stay Off.
Note
Removing the NI PXIe-8105 controller from a chassis will trigger a “Power Failure”
event. When set to Turn On the controller will attempt to power on the chassis during
re-insertion.
•
Power Button Instant-Off—This setting selects the OS environments
where the PXI Express chassis power button should instantly power off
the system. The controller can be configured to power off instantly in
a Non-ACPI OS environment only (for instance, LabVIEW RT and
DOS, but not Windows), power off instantly in Any OS environment
(including Windows), or to not power off instantly in any OS
environment. The default is Non-ACPI OS Only.
