Chapter 3 Configuration and Default Settings
NI VXIpc-882 User Manual 3-16 ni.com
•Parallel Port Mode—The PC industry has created several different
modes of operation for this port over the years. Usually, the default
setting works for all applications. However, if a parallel port device
specifically requires a nondefault setting, you can change it here.
The default is Bidirectional, for full IEEE 1284 capabilities.
•Legacy USB Support—Use this setting to use a USB keyboard and
mouse as if they were standard PS/2-style peripherals. You must enable
this setting to use these devices in operating systems with no USB
support and to boot from a USB floppy or CD-ROM. The BIOS setup
screen always works with USB keyboards regardless of this setting.
The default is Enabled.
•SATA Mode—This setting determines whether the SATA controller
operates in Enhanced or Compatible mode. Enhanced mode
provides the advanced features of a SATA controller, while
Compatible mode provides legacy backwards compatibility with
standard ATA for operating systems that do not natively support SATA.
The default setting is Enhanced.
•AHCI Configuration—This setting determines whether AHCI mode
is Enabled or Disabled for the SATA port. Because some operating
systems do not support AHCI mode, you can use this setting to disable
AHCI mode so that non-compatible OSes function correctly. The
default setting is Enabled.
•Multi-Core Processing—This setting determines whether or not the
second core processor on the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7400 is enabled.
The default setting is Enabled.
•Monitor DDC—This setting determines how the monitor DDC is
routed. Use this setting to select whether or not the DDC is routed for
an Analog monitor or a DVI monitor. In order to use a DVI monitor,
this setting must be set to DVI. An analog monitor, however, will
function with this option set to either Analog or DVI. The DDC
communication path is only enabled when set to Analog for an analog
monitor, so certain advanced features of your analog monitor may only
be enabled when routing DDC to Analog. The default setting is DVI.
•Force IGD Primary—This setting determines how the BIOS
prioritizes video controllers when external video cards are present in
the system. During POST, only one device can act as the video display
device. When set to Enabled, the BIOS allows the integrated graphics
device to remain the video display device. When set to Disabled, the
BIOS allows an external graphics card, if present, to act as the default
video display device. Note that even when set to Disabled, the
integrated graphics device still acts as the video display device if it is
the only one available in the system. The default setting is Disabled.
