LabVIEW RT Configuration Overrides Submenu

In order to minimize jitter when booting into LabVIEW Real-Time mode,

the following features are automatically disabled. These features can be

manually enabled. Refer to the CPU Configuration Submenu for specific

details on what each feature enables.

• CPU Hyper Threading—The default is Use RT Default.

Boot Menu

Use this menu to configure settings related to the boot process and boot

device priority.

• Boot Settings Configuration—Use this setting to access the Boot

Settings Configuration submenu. Refer to the Boot Settings

Configuration Submenu section for more information.

• SCSI Drive Boot—This setting specifies whether or not boot support

is enabled for legacy mass storage devices, such as SCSI drives. When

enabled, legacy mass storage controllers with boot support will be

displayed in the Boot Option Priorities menu. The default value is

Enabled.

• PXE Network Boot—This setting specifies whether or not the PXE

network boot agent is enabled. When enabled, the Intel Boot Agent

will be displayed in the Boot Option Priorities menu, allowing you to

boot from a PXE server on the local subnet. Note that the Intel Boot

Agent device names are preceded by IBA GE Slot in the Boot Option

Priorities menu. The system must be restarted for this setting to take

effect. The default value is Disabled.

• Boot Option Priorities—These settings specify the order in which the

BIOS checks for bootable devices, including the local hard disk drive,

removable devices such as USB flash disk drives or USB CD-ROM

drives, or the PXE network boot agent. The BIOS will first attempt to

boot from the device associated with Boot Device #1, followed by

Boot Device #2, and Boot Device #3. If multiple boot devices are not

present, the BIOS setup will not display all of these configuration
