5.4 Setup Utility
The BIOS incorporates a setup utility that allows the user to alter a variety of system options.
This section describes the operation of the utility by describing the various options available
through a set of hierarchical menus. Not all options are available with all products and some
depend on BIOS customizations.
The current settings are stored in the SPI FLASH NVRAM area and any changes can be copied
back to this area using the Exit menu. The operation of the BIOS defaults is described later in
this document.
To start the utility, press the F2 key during the early stages of POST after power-up. Note that
this functionality operates with PS/2 keyboards, USB keyboards when enabled, and through
the console redirection facility when enabled.
The table below briefly describes the primary menus, most of which have sub-menus. The
following sections describe the menus in detail.

include the keys, , , keys, and so on.
