Common Configuration
Questions

This chapter answers common configuration questions you may have when
using the NI PXI-8186 embedded controller.

General Questions

What do the LEDs on the NI PXI-8186 front panel mean?

The green LED indicates the power supplies to/on the NI PXI-8186 are
within spec. The supplies monitored are 3.3 V, 5 V, +12 V. The hard drive
LED lights when there is hard drive activity on the NI PXI-8186.

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 PXI-8186 and press <Delete> during the memory tests. Refer
to the

Entering BIOS Setup

section of Chapter 2,

Installation and

Configuration

, for more information.

Can I use the internal IDE drive and an external SCSI hard drive at
the same time?

Yes.

Boot Options

What devices can I boot from?

The NI PXI-8186 can boot from the following devices:

•

The internal IDE hard drive

•

An external SCSI hard drive or CD-ROM if an SCSI adapter, such
as the PXI-8214, is used

•

A network PXE server on the same subnet
