Command

The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus, pick lists,
or to select a sub-field. If a pick list is displayed, the
Enter key will select the pick list highlighted item, and
pass that 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 par-
ent 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.

The Tab key is used to move between fields. For exam-
ple, Tab can be used to move from hours to minutes in
the time item in the main menu.
