Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP BIOS Setup Interface Note: If an Administrative Password has not been set, anyone who boots the system to Setup has access to all selection and data entry fields in Setup and can change any of them. 9.4.1.1 Setup Page Layout The Setup page layout is sectioned into functional areas. Each occupies a specific area of the screen and has dedicated functionality. The following table lists and describes each functional area. The Setup page is designed to a format of 80 x 24 (24 lines of 80 characters each). The typical display screen in a Legacy mode or in a terminal emulator mode is actually 80 characters by 25 lines, but with "line wrap" enabled (which it usually is) the 25th line cannot be used with the Setup page. Table 55. BIOS Setup Page Layout Functional Area Title (Tab) Bar Page Title Setup Item List Item-Specific Help Area Keyboard Command Area Description The Title Bar is located at the top of the screen and displays "Tabs" with the titles of the top-level pages, or screens, that can be selected. Using the left and right arrow keys moves from page to page through the Tabs. When there are more Tabs than can be displayed on the Title (Tab) Bar, they will scroll off to the left or right of the screen and temporarily disappear from the visible Title Bar. Using the arrow keys will scroll them back onto the visible Title Bar. When the arrow keys reach either end of the Title Bar, they will "wrap around" to the other end of the Title Bar. For multi-level hierarchies, this shows only the top-level page above the page which the user is currently viewing. The Page Title gives further information. In a multi-level hierarchy of pages beneath one of the top-level Tabs, the Page Title identifying the specific page which the user is viewing is located in the upper left corner of the page. Using the (Escape) key will return the user to the higher level in the hierarchy, until the top-level Tab page is reached. The Setup Item List is a set of control entries and informational items. The list is displayed in two columns. For each item in the list:  The left column of the list contains Prompt String (or Label String), a character string which identifies the item. The Prompt String may be up to 34 characters long in the 80 x 24 page format.  The right column contains a data field which may be an informational data display, a data input field, or a multiple choice field. Data input or multiple-choice fields are demarcated by square brackets "[....]". This field may be up to 90 characters long but only the first 22 characters can be displayed on the 80 x 24 page (24 characters for an informational display-only field). The operator navigates up and down the right hand column through the available input or choice fields. A Setup Item may also represent a selection to open a new screen with a further group of options for specific functionality. In this case, the operator navigates to the desired selection and presses to go to the new screen. The Item-specific Help Area is located on the right side of the screen and contains Help Text specific to the highlighted Setup Item. Help information may include the meaning and usage of the item, allowable values, effects of the options, etc. The Help Area is a 29 character by 11 line section of the 80 x 24 page. The Help Text may have explicit line-breaks within it. When the text is longer Revision 1.0 91

9.4.1.1
Setup Page Layout
The Setup page layout is sectioned into functional areas. Each occupies a specific area of the
screen and has dedicated functionality. The following table lists and describes each functional
area.
The Setup page is designed to a format of 80 x 24 (24 lines of 80 characters each). The typical
display screen in a Legacy mode or in a terminal emulator mode is actually 80 characters by 25
lines, but with “line wrap” enabled (which it usually is) the 25th line cannot be used with the
Setup page.
Table 55. BIOS Setup Page Layout
Functional Area
Description
Title (Tab) Bar
The Title Bar is located at the top of the screen and displays “Tabs” with the
titles of the top-level pages, or screens, that can be selected. Using the left
and right arrow keys moves from page to page through the Tabs.
When there are more Tabs than can be displayed on the Title (Tab) Bar,
they will scroll off to the left or right of the screen and temporarily disappear
from the visible Title Bar. Using the arrow keys will scroll them back onto
the visible Title Bar. When the arrow keys reach either end of the Title Bar,
they will “wrap around” to the other end of the Title Bar.
For multi-level hierarchies, this shows only the top-level page above the
page which the user is currently viewing. The Page Title gives further
information.
Page Title
In a multi-level hierarchy of pages beneath one of the top-level Tabs, the
Page Title identifying the specific page which the user is viewing is located
in the upper left corner of the page. Using the
<ESC>
(Escape) key will
return the user to the higher level in the hierarchy, until the top-level Tab
page is reached.
Setup Item List
The Setup Item List is a set of control entries and informational items. The
list is displayed in two columns.
For each item in the list:
The left column of the list contains Prompt String (or Label String), a
character string which identifies the item. The Prompt String may be
up to 34 characters long in the 80 x 24 page format.
The right column contains a data field which may be an informational
data display, a data input field, or a multiple choice field. Data input or
multiple-choice fields are demarcated by square brackets “[
....

field may be up to 90 characters long but only the first 22 characters
can be displayed on the 80 x 24 page (24 characters for an
informational display-only field).
The operator navigates up and down the right hand column through the
available input or choice fields.
A Setup Item may also represent a selection to open a new screen with a
further group of options for specific functionality. In this case, the operator
navigates to the desired selection and presses
<Enter>
to go to the new
screen.
