Console Redirection

BIOS Setup is functional via console redirection over various terminal standards emulation. This
may limit some functionality for compatibility, such as the use of colors, keys or key sequences,
or support of pointing devices.
5.11.3

Configuration Reset

Activating the Clear CMOS jumper produces a "reset system configuration" request. When a
request is detected, the BIOS loads the default system configuration values during the next
POST.
When the Intel® Management Module is installed it provides two additional methods to issue a
"reset system configuration" request. Using the front panel, the user can hold the reset button
for 4 seconds and then press the power button while continuing to press the reset button.
Alternatively, software can send a specific OEM command to the BMC to indicate the request.
In both methods, the BIOS loads the default values during the next POST.

Table 39. BIOS Setup Keyboard Command Bar Options

The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu,
or to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for
multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will
undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the
pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or
selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.
When the ESC key is pressed in any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When
the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed
and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If "No" is selected and the
Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they
were before ESC was pressed without affecting any existing any settings. If "Yes" is
selected and the Enter key is pressed, setup is exited and the BIOS continues with
POST.
The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous options
in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the
Enter key.
The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or a value
field's pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.
The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The
keys have no affect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed.
The Tab key is used to move between fields. For example, Tab can be used to move
from hours to minutes in the time item in the main menu.
The minus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current item to the
previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without
displaying the full list.
