Setup Menus

Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those features that
are provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is
associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. These parameters
can be changed if the user has adequate security rights. If a value cannot be changed for
any reason, the feature's value field is inaccessible.

Key to
Press
<F1> Pressing <F1> on any menu invokes the general help window.
Left and The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no
right arrows affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
Up arrow Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a menu item's option list, or a
value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter> key activates the selected item.
Down arrow Select Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or
a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter> key activates the selected item.
<F5> or <-> Change Value - The minus key or the <F5> function key 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.
<F6> or Change Value - The plus key or the <F6> function key 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 it has the same effect.
<Enter> Execute Command - The <Enter> key is used to activate submenus when the selected feature is a
submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature 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.
<Esc> Exit - 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
submenu, 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.
<F9> Setup Defaults - Pressing <F9> causes the following to appear:
If "Yes" is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. 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 <F9> was pressed without affecting any existing field values.
