Save & Exit Menu
NI PXI-8109 User Manual
The Save & Exit menu includes all available options for exiting, saving,
and loading the BIOS default configuration. As an alternative to this
screen, press <F9> to load optimal BIOS default settings and <F10> to save
changes and exit setup.
The Save & Exit menu includes the following settings:
• Save Changes and Reset—Any changes made to BIOS settings are
stored in NVRAM. The setup program then exits and reboots the
controller. The <F10> key can also be used to select this option.
• Discard Changes and Reset—Any changes made to BIOS settings
during this session of the BIOS setup program are discarded. The setup
program then exits and reboots the controller. The <Esc> key can also
be used to select this option.
• Save Changes—Changes made to BIOS settings during this session
are committed to NVRAM. The setup program remains active,
allowing further changes.
• Discard Changes—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this
session of the BIOS setup program are discarded. The BIOS setup
continues to be active.
• Restore Factory Defaults—This option restores all BIOS settings to
the factory default. This option is useful if the controller exhibits
unpredictable behavior due to an incorrect or inappropriate BIOS
setting. Notice that any nondefault settings such as boot order,
passwords, and so on, are also restored to their factory defaults.
The <F9> key can also be used to select this option.
• Save As User Defaults—This option saves a copy of the current BIOS
settings as the User Defaults. This option is useful for preserving
custom BIOS setup configurations.
• Restore User Defaults—This option restores all BIOS settings to the
user defaults. This option is useful for restoring previously preserved
custom BIOS setup configurations.
• Boot Override—This option lists all possible bootable devices and
allows the user to override the Boot Option Priorities list for the
current boot. If no changes have been made to the BIOS setup options,
the system will continue booting to the selected device without
first rebooting. If BIOS setup options have been changed and saved,
a reboot will be required and the boot override selection will not be
valid.
