PXI Setup Menu
Use this menu to control and route certain signals on the PXI backplane.
Normally, you do not need to modify these settings. However, other
sections of this manual may indicate that modifications are necessary
and may lead to unpredictable behavior.
•
INTP Routing
—You can route INTP to ISA IRQ 14, for use by
a PXI device functioning as a Primary IDE Controller. The default
setting is
Not Routed
.
•
INTS Routing
—You can route INTS to ISA IRQ 15, for use by a PXI
device functioning as a Secondary IDE Controller. You also can route
it to the controller’s 21-frame serialized IRQ input, for use by certain
PXI carrier cards. The default setting is
Not Routed
.
Note
If INTS or INTP is routed to an ISA IRQ, you must disable one or both channels of
the integrated IDE/ATA controller for correct operation of this routing.
Boot Setup Menu
This screen displays the boot order of devices associated with the
controller. The BIOS proceeds down this list in search of a bootable device.
If the BIOS fails to find any bootable device, the message
Operating
System Not Found
is displayed, and the system halts.
•
Removable Devices
—The boot list includes floppy drives, ZIP drives,
and some USB-based devices.
•
Hard Drive
—The boot list includes all IDE/ATA and USB hard disks
detected on the system. Press <Enter> on this entry to expand it to
select the boot priority of individual IDE/ATA hard drives.
•
CD-ROM Drive
—The boot list includes all classes of CD-ROM
drive, including USB drives and IDE/ATA drives.
Note
If an SCSI host adapter exists in the system, this menu has an additional entry for
SCSI devices.
Note
If
PXE Network Boot
is enabled, this menu has an additional entry for the Ethernet
interface.

setup menu includes all available options for exiting, saving, and
