TEK-CPCI-1000 Technical Reference Manual
12-4
Whenever you are not sure about a certain setting, you may refer to the list of default values
provided in the event that a value has been changed and one wishes to set this option to its
original value. Loading the BIOS or SETUP defaults will affect all the options and will reset
options previously altered.
ƒ
The BIOS default settings consist of the safest set of parameters. Use them if the system
is behaving erratically. They should always work but do not provide optimal system
performance.
ƒ
The SETUP default values provide optimum performance settings for all devices and
system features.

These parameters have been provided to give control over the system.
However, the values for these options should be changed only if the user
has a full understanding of the timing relationships involved.
