BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility is provided to perform system configuration
changes and to display current settings and environment information.
The BIOS Setup utility stores configuration settings in system non-
volatile storage. Changes affected by BIOS Setup will not take effect
until the system is rebooted. The BIOS Setup Utility can be accessed
during POST by using the F2 key.
Localization
The BIOS Setup utility uses the Unicode standard and is capable of
displaying setup forms in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
The BIOS supports these languages for console strings as well.
Console Redirection
The BIOS Setup utility is functional via console redirection over various
terminal standards emulation. This may limit some functionality for
compatibility, e.g., usage of colors or some keys or key sequences or
support of pointing devices.
Configuration Reset
Setting the Clear CMOS jumper (board location J1H4) produces a “reset
system configuration” request. When a request is detected, the BIOS
loads the default system configuration values during the next POST.
Alternatively, the user can clear CMOS without opening the chassis.
Using the control panel, the user can hold the reset button for 4
seconds and then press the power button while still pressing the reset
button.
The Intel Management Module, when installed, provides a software
method to issue a “reset system configuration” request. Software can
send a specific OEM command to the Sahalee BMC to indicate the
request.
Keyboard Commands
While in the BIOS Setup utility, the Keyboard Command Bar supports
the keys specified in the following table.
