ExpressCard Configuration Submenu
Note
This submenu is available on the NI PXIe-8840 Quad-Core ExpressCard
variant only.
Use this submenu to apply alternate settings to the ExpressCard configuration. These settings
determine how much memory space, I/O space, and PCI bus numbers are pre-allocated for the
ExpressCard port, allowing non-PCI Express-aware operating systems to support hot-plugging
ExpressCard devices. Normally, you do not need to modify these settings, as the factory
default settings provide the best possible configuration.
•
ExpressCard Resources
—This setting enables or disables the setting of the
Reserved
Buses
,
Reserved Memory
, and
Reserved I/O
settings. The default value for this setting
is
Enabled
. If this setting is disabled, the bus, memory, and I/O options disappear from
this submenu. Disabling this setting effectively sets
Reserved Buses
to 0,
Reserved
Memory
to 0M, and
Reserved I/O
to 0K.
•
Reserved Buses
—This setting determines the number of PCI buses the BIOS reserves for
ExpressCard PCI-PCI bridges that may be hot-plugged in the ExpressCard slot. The
default value for this setting is
8
PCI buses.
•
Reserved Memory
—This setting determines the amount of memory space, in bytes, that
the BIOS reserves for PCI-PCI bridges that may be hot-plugged in the ExpressCard slot.
The default value for this setting is
64M
bytes of memory.
•
Reserved I/O
—This setting determines the amount of I/O space, in bytes, that the BIOS
reserves for PCI-PCI bridges that may be hot-plugged in the ExpressCard slot. The
default value for this setting is
4K
bytes of I/O space.
PCI Configuration Submenu
Use this submenu to apply alternate settings to PCI devices. Normally, you do not need to
modify these settings, as the factory default settings provide the most compatible and optimal
configuration possible.
•
PCIe Max Payload Size
—This setting determines the maximum payload size of PCI
Express devices. Valid options are
Auto
and
128 Bytes
. The default value is
Auto
, which
allows the BIOS to choose an optimal value based on which devices are present.
AMT Configuration Submenu
Use this submenu to apply alternate settings for Intel Advanced Management Technology
(AMT) and its Management Engine. Normally, you do not need to modify these settings, as
the factory default settings prove the most compatible and optimal configuration possible.
•
Management Engine Setup Prompt
—This setting enables or disables the Intel AMT
Management Engine setup prompt on the BIOS POST screen. When this setting is set to
