Boot Options
The PXIe-8881 can boot from the following devices:
•
The internal solid state drive.
•
An external USB mass storage device such as a USB hard drive, USB CD/DVD-ROM, or
USB flash drive.
•
Most PCI or PCI Express-based devices that provide an Option ROM.
There are two ways to configure the controller to boot from these devices:
•
Enter the BIOS setup by rebooting the controller and pressing <Delete> during the
memory tests. Select the Boot menu. You will see a list of all bootable devices, ordered
by device type. You can set the boot order by altering the 1st Boot Device, 2nd Boot
Device, and 3rd Boot Device settings.
•
To boot from a different device without permanently changing the boot order, press
<F10> during POST. After the BIOS completes the POST and just before the controller
boots the OS, the Boot menu is displayed. You can select the device type you want to
boot from.
