Table 14. BIOS Setup: Keyboard Command Bar

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 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 any 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 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.
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 the <F9> key causes the following to appear:
Load Optimized defaults? (Y/N)
If the <Y> key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If the <N>
key is pressed, or if the <Esc> key is pressed, the user is returned to where they
were before the <F9> key was pressed without affecting any existing field values
Pressing the <F10> key causes the following message to appear:
Save Configuration and Reset? (Y/N)
If the <Y> key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is exited. If the <N> key
is pressed, or the <Esc> key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were
before the <F10> key was pressed without affecting any existing values.
