# 1 BIOS Setup Menu

# 1.1 Introduction

The BIOS setup utility is invoked by pressing &lt;ESC&gt; or &lt;DEL&gt; keys. User can change BIOS settings during setup utility runs. A reset of system is required in order to make new settings take effect.

In BIOS setup utility, there are several hot keys are designed for specific purpose. Hot keys are listed as below.

◀ &lt;F1&gt;: General help in setup menu
◀ &lt;F8&gt;: Load previous BIOS values
◀ &lt;F9&gt;: Load BIOS default in setup utility
◀ &lt;F10&gt;: Save & Exit setup utility

# 1.2 Menu Selection Bar

The Menu Selection Bar is located at the top of the screen. It displays the top level available menus to the user:

Main Menu
Advanced Menu
Chipset Menu
Server Mgmt Menu
Security Menu
Boot Menu
Save & Exit Menu

# 1.3 Menu Conventions

The appearance of setup menu listed in this chapter is a sample to describe the item list. It is shown on VT100 terminal via serial console. Followings are the menu conventions.

# - Using color

The mandatory BIOS setup fields are in black. The BIOS setup fields currently not used are in grey. The display only strings are in black.

# - Using brackets

Editable menu options are marketed with squares ‘[‘ and ‘]’ to distinguish them from display only fields that can’t be modified.

# 2 Getting Started

The Main Menu provides read-only information about system and also allows to set system's date and time. Refer to the tables below, it shows the screen shot of Main menu for detail, and submenus and settings as well.
