BIOS User Interface

If Quiet Boot is enabled in the BIOS setup, a logo splash screen displays. By default,

Quiet Boot is enabled in the BIOS setup. If the logo displays during POST, press <Esc>
to hide the logo and display the diagnostic screen.
 If a logo is not present in the flash ROM or if Quiet Boot is disabled in the system
configuration, the summary and diagnostic screen displays.
The diagnostic screen displays the following information:
 BIOS ID
Platform name

 Total memory detected (Total size of all installed DDR3 DIMMs)
 Processor information (Intel branded string, speed, and number of physical processor

BIOS Boot Popup Menu

The BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) provides for a Boot Popup Menu invoked by pressing the
<F6> key during POST. The BBS popup menu displays all available boot devices. The list order
in the popup menu is not the same as the boot order in the BIOS setup; it simply lists the
bootable devices from which the system can be booted.
When a User Password or Administrator Password is active in Setup, the password is to access
the Boot Popup Menu.
6.3

BIOS Setup utility

The BIOS setup utility is a text-based utility that allows the user to configure the system and
view current settings and environment information for the platform devices. The Setup utility
controls the platform's built-in devices, boot manager, and error manager.
The BIOS setup interface consists of a number of pages or screens. Each page contains
information or links to other pages. The advanced tab in Setup displays a list of general
categories as links. These links lead to pages containing a specific category's configuration.
The following sections describe the look and behavior for platform setup.
