Launching Submenus; General Help - MAXDATA Notebook User Manual

Chapter 6 — Using the BIOS Setup Utility

Launching Submenus

Note that a right pointer symbol appears to the left of certain fields. This pointer indicates that a submenu can
be launched from this field. A submenu contains additional options for a field parameter. To call up a submenu,
simply move the cursor to highlight the field and press <Enter>. The submenu will immediately appear. Use the
legend keys to enter values and move from field to field within a submenu just as you would within a menu.
Use <Esc> to return to the Main menu.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with each of the legend keys and their corresponding functions. Practice
navigating through the various menus and submenus. If you accidentally make unwanted changes to any of
the fields, use the "Setup Defaults" hot key <F9>. While moving around through the Setup Utility, note that
explanations appear in the Item Specific Help window located to the right of each menu. This window displays
the help text for the currently highlighted field.

General Help

In addition to the Item Specific Help window, the Setup Utility also provides a General Help screen. This screen
can be called up from any menu by simply pressing <F1> or the <Alt> + <H> combination. The General Help
screen lists the legend keys with their corresponding alternates and functions.
When a scroll bar appears to the right of a help window, this indicates that there is more information to be
displayed that won't fit in the window. Use <PgUp> and <PgDn> or the up and down arrows <↑> <↓> to scroll
through the entire help document. Press the Home key to display the first page, press End to go to the last
page. To exit the help window, press <Enter> or <Esc>.
