without restarting first. The key can also be used to select this
option.

BIOS settings during this session of the BIOS setup program without
also exiting the setup program. The key can also be used to select
this option.
• Load Defaults—Select this option to restore all BIOS settings to
the factory defaults. This option is useful if the controller exhibits
unpredictable behavior due to an incorrect or inappropriate BIOS
setting. Note that any nondefault settings such as boot order,
passwords, and so on, are restored to their factory defaults. The
key can also be used to select this option.
System CMOS
The NI PXIe-8130 contains memory backed up by a battery to store BIOS
configuration information.
Complete the following steps to clear the CMOS contents:
1. Power off the chassis.
2. Remove the controller from the chassis.
3. Move the jumper on W2 from pins 1–2 to pins 2–3, as shown in
Figure 2-3.
4. Wait one second. Move the jumper back to pins 1–2.
5. Reinstall the controller in the chassis.
Caution Do not leave the jumper on pins 2–3. Doing so decreases battery life and prevents
the controller from booting.
