PXI Express Setup Menu

Use this menu to display configuration information for features of the PXI
Express embedded controller and backplane.

Chassis Link Configuration—This setting displays the PXI Express
link configuration, either 2-Link or 4-Link. If 2-Link is displayed, the
PXIe-8130 detected a 2-link PXI Express backplane and is operating
with two x8 PCI Express links. If 4-link is displayed, the PXIe-8130
detected a 4-link PXI Express backplane and is operating with four x4
PCI Express links.

LabVIEW RT Options Setup Menu

Use this menu to configure boot options for LabVIEW RT if it is installed
on the controller. If you are not using LabVIEW RT, you should leave these
settings at default.

Note

The settings below override the behavior of the switches on S1. Refer to LabVIEW

RT Configuration Switches section for more information. To use the settings from the
switches, select Use Switch Setting for each option.

Boot Configuration—This setting selects whether the controller
should boot LabVIEW RT, LabVIEW RT Safe Mode, or an installed
OS such as Windows XP. The default is Use Switch Setting.

Note

Booting LabVIEW RT requires that your NI PXIe-8130 controller has an IDE

(PATA) hard drive. Such a controller may be ordered from National Instruments with the
part number 780032-33.

Reset IP Address—If the controller is deployed to a different subnet
from which it was originally configured, or if the current IP address is
invalid, use this switch to reset the IP address to

0.0.0.0

during

LabVIEW RT startup. The default is Use Switch Setting.

Disable Startup VI—If the controller becomes inaccessible because
of a startup VI, this switch can prevent VIs from automatically running
at startup. The default is Use Switch Setting.

Security Setup Menu

Use this menu to enable BIOS security options.

Change Supervisor Password—This setting specifies a password
that must be entered to access the BIOS Setup Utility. By default,
no password is specified.
