Welcome to the HP VXI Pentium® Controllers: Hardware Installation and
Configuration Guide. This guide explains how to install the VXI Pentium
Controller hardware, including any peripherals you wish to connect to the
controller. This guide then explains how to power up the controller and
customize the controller's configuration if the default, factory-set
configuration is not sufficient for your controller's specific hardware setup.
Note
This guide does not explain how to configure the VXI Resource Manager,
VXI/VME hardware, or other supported instrument I/O interfaces. Those
subjects are addressed in the HP VXI Pentium® Controllers: E623x

guide contains the following chapters:
•
Chapter 2 - Installing and Configuring the Hardware explains how

further customize the controller, if needed.
•

hardware configuration values in the BIOS Setup utility for the
