Installation and Configuration
BIOS Setup Utility
You can change the PXIe-8840 configuration settings in the BIOS setup program. The BIOS is
the low-level interface between the hardware and operating system software that configures and
tests your hardware when you boot the system. The BIOS setup program includes menus for
configuring settings and enabling PXIe-8840 controller features.
Most users do not need to use the BIOS setup program, as the PXIe-8840 controller ships with
default settings that work well for most configurations.
Caution
Changing BIOS settings may lead to incorrect controller behavior and
possibly an unbootable controller. If this happens, follow the instructions for
restoring default settings in the
System CMOS
section. In general, do
not
change a
setting unless you are absolutely certain what it does.
