Serial Port Configuration
—Use this setting to access the
Serial Port Configuration
Serial Port Configuration Submenu
section for more information.
•
Serial Port Console Redirection
—Use this setting to access the
Serial Port Console
Redirection
submenu. Refer to the
Serial Port Console Redirection Submenu
section for
more information.
SATA Configuration Submenu
Use this submenu to apply alternate settings to the hard disk drive (HDD) interfaces. Normally,
you do not need to modify these settings, as the factory default settings provide the most
compatible and optimal configuration possible.
•
SATA Mode Selection
—This setting determines whether AHCI mode is enabled or
disabled for the SATA port. Some operating systems, do not support AHCI mode. You can
use this setting to disable AHCI mode and enable IDE mode so that non-compatible OSes
function correctly. The default value is AHCI.
•
Onboard Storage
—This item displays the onboard drive detected in the system.
CPU Configuration Submenu
Use this submenu to apply alternate settings to the CPU. Normally, you do not need to modify
these settings, as the factory default settings provide the most compatible and optimal
configuration possible.
•
Hyper-Threading
—
(NI cDAQ-9139)
This setting enables or disables Intel
Hyper-Threading technology. The default value is
Disabled
if the boot OS is
LabVIEW Real-Time and
Enabled
for other boot OSes. Enabling Hyper-Threading
increases performance for some applications by adding virtual CPU cores.
Hyper-Threading can cause control algorithms to behave less deterministically.
•
Enabled CPU Cores
—This setting selects the number of active CPU cores for the
processor. Valid values are 2 and 1. The default value is
2
.
•
Turbo Boost—
(NI cDAQ-9139)
This setting enables or disables Intel Turbo Boost
technology. The default value is
Disabled
if the boot OS is LabVIEW Real-Time and
Enabled
for other boot OSes. Enabling Turbo Boost allows CPU cores to run at higher than
their base frequency for short durations, while other cores are idle. Enabling Turbo Boost
can cause control algorithms to behave less deterministically.
•
Hardware Prefetcher
—This setting enables or disables CPU cache hardware prefetching.
The default value is enabled.
•
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch
—This setting enables or disables prefetching of adjacent
cache lines from memory to the CPU cache. The default value is enabled.
