Power-On Self Test Warning Messages
The cRIO-9036 POST displays warning messages for specific issues onscreen. You can use
MAX to enable Console Out to send these warning messages through the RS-232 serial port.
The POST can display the following warning messages:
•
BIOS Reset Detected—This warning is displayed when the CMOS Reset button has been
pushed. This warning indicates that the BIOS settings have the default values.
•
CMOS Battery Is Dead—This warning is displayed when the CMOS battery is dead and
must be replaced. The BIOS settings are preserved even when the CMOS battery is dead,
but the system will boot very slowly because the BIOS cannot optimize boot time by
saving specific system information to CMOS.
BIOS Setup Utility
Use the BIOS setup utility to change configuration settings and to enable special functions.
The cRIO-9036 ships with configuration settings that work for most applications, but you can

application.
Changing BIOS settings can cause incorrect behavior, including failure to boot. In general, do
not change a setting unless you are sure what the setting does. Reset the BIOS settings to
restoring the default configuration settings.
