KPXI System Controller User’s Manual Section 3: Getting Started
for configuring settings and enabling Model KPXI-CON controller controller features. Most users
do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the Model KPXI-CON controller controller ships
with default settings that work well for most configurations. Please refer to the BIOS Manual (see
Appendix B ) for detailed information about the BIOS and other utilities.

Operating system installation
Keithley PXI System Controllers come pre-installed with a Windows XP Operating System. In
some cases reinstallation of Windows XP may be necessary or desirable. For this purpose the
original Windows XP CD is shipped with each controller. You may wish to install an operating
system not supported by Keithley Instruments. In that case, refer to the documentation provided by
the operating system vendor.
Read the release notes and installation documentation provided by the operating system vendor.
Be sure to read all the README files or documents provided on the distribution disks, as these
typically note documentation discrepancies or compatibility problems.
To reinstall the operating system use the KPXI-USBCD external USB CDROM drive. The BIOS is
by default set to boot from the USB CDROM when connected with bootable media. For information
on changing the boot sequence see
Appendix B .
CAUTION: Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller
behavior and possibly an unbootable controller. In general, do
not change a BIOS setting unless you are absolutely certain of
what it does.
