Technical Product Specification Product Features Overview
The boot order in the pop-up menu is not the same as the boot order in the BIOS setup. The
pop-up menu simply lists all of the available devices from which the system can be booted,
and allows a manual selection of the desired boot device.
When an Administrator password is installed in Setup, the Administrator password will be
required in order to access the Boot Pop-up menu using the <F6> key. If a User password is
entered, the Boot Pop-up menu will not even appear – the user will be taken directly to the
Boot Manager in the Setup, where a User password allows only booting in the order previously
defined by the Administrator.
2.16.1.5 Entering BIOS Setup
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility using a keyboard (or emulated keyboard), press the <F2>
function key during boot time when the OEM or Intel Logo Screen or the POST Diagnostic
Screen is displayed.
The following instructional message is displayed on the Diagnostic Screen or under the Quiet
Boot Logo Screen:
Press <F2> to enter setup, <F6> Boot Menu, <F12> Network Boot
Note: With a USB keyboard, it is important to wait until the BIOS "discovers" the keyboard and
beeps – until the USB Controller has been initialized and the USB keyboard activated, key
presses will not be read by the system.
When the Setup Utility is entered, the Main screen is displayed initially. However, in the event
a serious error occurs during POST, the system will enter the BIOS Setup Utility and display
the Error Manager screen instead of the Main screen.
2.16.1.6 BIOS Update Capability
In order to bring BIOS fixes or new features into the system, it will be necessary to replace the
current installed BIOS image with an updated one. The BIOS image can be updated using a
standalone IFLASH32 utility in the uEFI shell, or can be done using the OFU utility program
under a given operating system. Full BIOS update instructions are provided when update
packages are downloaded from the Intel web site.
2.16.1.7 BIOS Recovery
If a system is completely unable to boot successfully to an OS, hangs during POST, or even
hangs and fails to start executing POST, it may be necessary to perform a BIOS Recovery
procedure, which can replace a defective copy of the Primary BIOS.
The BIOS introduces three mechanisms to start the BIOS recovery process, which is called
Recovery Mode:
Recovery Mode Jumper – This jumper causes the BIOS to boot in Recovery Mode.
