Description
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 currently
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. 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 you are asked whether changes
can be discarded. If "No" is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, or
if the <Esc> key is pressed, you are returned to where you 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 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 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. This key only works for
date and time.
The plus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current
menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values in the
associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese
keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on
the other keyboard, but will have the same effect. This key only works for
date and time.
