Basic Input Output System (BIOS) SAI2 Server Board TPS After the F2 key is pressed, a few seconds might pass before Setup is entered while POST finishes test and initialization functions that must be completed before Setup can be entered. When Setup is entered, the Main Menu options page is displayed. 3.2.2.2 Keyboard Command Bar The bottom portion of the screen provides a list of commands that are used for navigating the Setup utility. These commands are displayed at all times, for every menu and submenu. Each Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except those used for informative purposes, each feature is associated with a value field. This field contains user-selectable parameters. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect via password, a menu feature's value can be changeable or not. If a value is cannot be changed due to insufficient security privileges or other reasons, the feature's value field is inaccessible. The Keyboard Command Bar supports the following: F1 Enter ESC F5/- F6/+ F9 Help Execute Command Exit Select Item Select Item Select Menu Change Value Change Value Setup Defaults Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window. This window describes the Setup key legend. The up arrow, down arrow, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys scroll the text in this window. The Enter key is used to activate submenus when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature has a value field, or to select a subfield 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. 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 submenu, 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. The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous feature in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key. 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. The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed. The minus key and the F5 function key are used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. These keys scroll through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. The plus key and the F6 function key are used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. These keys 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 it still has the same effect. Pressing the F9 key causes the following to appear: Setup Confirmation Load default configuration now? [Yes] [No] If "Yes" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If "No" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is 22 Revision 1.0
