[Main], [Advanced], [Security], [Power], [Boot Sequence], [Version], [Exit]. In the left of the
center section (3) you can select various settings or submenus. Brief help texts appear on
the right (1) for the currently selected menu entry. The bottom section contains information
for operator input.
The figures below represent examples of specific device configurations. The screen content
changes based on the supplied equipment configuration.
Yellow stars to the left of the interface designation (for example, Internal COM 1) indicate a
resource conflict between the interfaces managed by the BIOS. In this case you should
select the default settings (F9) or eliminate the conflict.
You can move between the menu forms using the cursor keys [←] left and [→] right.
