BIOS
This chapter contains information on BIOS, the low-level interface
between the hardware and PC software that configures and tests your
hardware when you start up the system. This BIOS (Basic Input Output
System) is an easy-to-use graphical user interface so you can configure
system aspects according to your needs.
Entering BIOS Setup
To enter the BIOS setup program, perform the following steps.
1.
Turn on or reboot the system. A screen appears with a series of
diagnostic checks.
2.
When the message
Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUP
appears, press the <DEL> key to enter the BIOS setup program.
3.
Choose options with the keyboard. Modify the settings to reflect
system options.
Default BIOS Setup Settings
To restore the default settings while inside the BIOS setup program,
select either Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings or Auto
Configuration with Fail-Safe Settings.
Select the Optimal settings if you want to get maximum performance
from the PXI-8150 Series. Fail Safe settings are more conservative
settings.
