BIOS Setup Utility
You can change the NI PXIe-8130 configuration settings in the BIOS setup
program. The BIOS is the low-level interface between the hardware and
operating system software that configures and tests your hardware when
you boot the system. The BIOS setup program includes menus for
configuring settings and enabling NI PXIe-8130 controller features.
Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the
NI PXIe-8130 controller ships with default settings that work well for
most configurations.
Caution Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller behavior and possibly
an unbootable controller. If this happens, follow the instructions for restoring default
settings in the
System CMOS section. In general, do not change a setting unless you are
absolutely certain what it does.
