18 Keysight M9036A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide
Using the Controller Controller Startup
Controller Startup
After installing the M9036A controller in a PXIe chassis, press the chassis’ power
on button. After a few moments, the controller will beep indicating it passed its
POST self tests. The controller then displays a splash screen for a few moments.
Typically, you would allow the controller to run through it’s normal startup
routine. However, at this screen, you can press the DEL key to enter the BIOS
setup or press F7 for the boot order menu. Refer to Chapter 3, “BIOS Setup”.
Either press the Enter key or simply ignore it and, after about five seconds. the
Windows operating system starts normally:
Possible Operating System Damage: DO NOT interrupt or
power-down the controller during the FIRST boot of the operating
system. Interrupting this FIRST boot will damage the operating
system image. Be sure to wait until the boot is complete and the
Windows operating system start window is displayed, and then
perform one orderly Restart of Windows (this will ensure all
configuration files have been saved). Subsequent boots will then
be ready for normal operation.
Depending on the system configuration, the BIOS may take up to
90 second (or longer) to boot. During this time, the Keysight
splash screen is present and it may appear that nothing is
happening. This is generally caused by the inclusion of certain
devices in the switch fabric (such as RAID controller) that require
a longer time for PCI enumeration.
