Keyboard Commands - Hitachi DS240 Service Manual

BIOS
When Quiet Boot is disabled, the message "press <DEL> or <F2> to enter setup" will be
displayed on the diagnostics screen.

Keyboard Commands

The bottom right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used to
navigate through the Setup utility. These commands are displayed at all times.
Each Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except those used for informative
purposes, each feature is associated with a value field. This field contains user-selectable
parameters. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect by the password, a
menu feature's value may or may not be changeable. If a value is non-changeable, the fea-
ture's value field is inaccessible and displays as "grayed out."

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 select the cur-
rently highlighted item, undo the pick list, and return the focus to the
parent menu.
The <Esc> key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field.
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
he/she was 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 returns to the main System Options Menu
screen.
The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the
previous option 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 dis-
played.
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.
