PXI-3980 4 BIOS Setup The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) provides a basic level of communication between the processor and peripherals. In addition, the BIOS also contains code for various advanced features applied to the PXI-3980 controller. The BIOS setup program includes menus for configuring settings and enabling PXI-3980 controller features. CAUTION: Changing BIOS settings may result in incorrect operation and possibly an inability to boot. If this occurs, follow the instructions in Section 2.3.
Navigation The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during setup navigation, as follows.
PXI-3980 A hot key legend is located in the right frame on most setup screens. NOTE: The < F8 > key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the < F8 > key on your keyboard. It is located on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings. 4.
