Pressing <Esc> does not immediately exit this menu. Select one of the options
from this menu or <F10> from the legend bar to exit.
Exit & Save Changes
Once you are finished making your selections, choose this option from the Exit
menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM. An onboard
backup battery sustains the CMOS RAM so it stays on even when the computer is
turned off. When you select this option, a confirmation window appears. Select OK
to save the changes and exit.
If you attempt to exit the Setup program without saving your changes, the
program prompts you with a message asking if you want to save your changes
before exiting. Press <Enter> to save the changes while exiting.
Exit & Discard Changes
Select this option only if you do not want to save the changes that you made to
the Setup program. If you made changes to fields other than System Date, System
Time, and Password, the BIOS asks for a confirmation before exiting.
Discard Changes
Allows you to discard the selections you made and restore the previously saved
values. After selecting this option, a confirmation appears. Select OK to discard
any changes and load the previously saved values.
Load Setup Defaults
Allows you to load the default values for each of the parameters on the Setup
menus. When you select this option or if you press <F5>, a confirmation window
appears. Select OK to load default values. Select Exit & Save Changes or make
other changes before saving the values to the non-volatile RAM.
