After shutting down my NI PXIe-8105 controller, the Ethernet LEDs
continue to blink. Is it safe to remove my controller or disconnect
power?

The NI PXIe-8105 controller Ethernet device remains powered even after
shutdown. It is safe to remove your controller or disconnect power.

How do I check the configuration of the memory, hard drive,
time/date, and so on?

You can view these parameters in the BIOS setup. To enter the BIOS setup,
reboot the NI PXIe-8105 and press <Delete> during the memory tests.
Refer to the
