Table 19: BIOS Setup Keyboard Command Bar Options
Key Option Description
Enter Execute
Command 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 undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
ESC Exit 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 they
were 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 continues with
POST.
↑ Select Item The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous options
in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the
Enter key.
↓ Select Item 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.
↔ Select Menu 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.
Tab Select Field 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.
- Change Value 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.
+ Change Value 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

Load Optional
Defaults?

If “OK” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default
values. If “Cancel” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is
pressed, the user is returned to BIOS setup without affecting any existing field values
F10 Save and Exit Pressing F10 causes the following message to appear:
Save Configuration changes and exit setup?
[OK] [Cancel]
If “OK” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is
exited. If “Cancel” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key is pressed,
the user is returned to BIOS setup without affecting any existing values.
