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 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 effect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed.
The <Tab> key is used to move between fields. For example, you can use <Tab>
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.
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.
Pressing <F9> causes the following to display:
Load Optimized Defaults?
If Yes is highlighted and <Enter> is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default
values. If No is highlighted and <Enter> 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.
Pressing <F10> causes the following message to display:
Save configuration and reset?
If Yes is highlighted and <Enter> is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is
exited. If No is highlighted and <Enter> is pressed, or the <Esc> key is pressed, the
user is returned to where they were before <F10> was pressed without affecting
any existing values.
