The screen is divided into four sections. In the top section, you can select the

[Version], [Exit]. In the left of center section, you can choose the different
settings or submenus. Brief help texts appear on the right for the currently

inputs.
Yellow stars to the left of the interface designation (for example, Internal COM 1)
indicate a resource conflict between the interfaces managed by the BIOS. In this
case you should select the default settings (F9) or eliminate the conflict.
You can move between the menu screens using the cursor keys [ ] and [ ].
