Revision 4.0

4.2.1.1

System State Window

The top row of the screen is reserved for the system state window. On a graphics console, the

window is 640x48. On a text console, the window is 80x2.

The system state window may be in one of three forms, either an activity bar that scrolls while

the system is busy, a progress bar that measures percent complete for the current task, or an

attention required bar. The attention bar is useful for tasks that require user attention to

continue.

4.2.1.2

Logo/Diagnostic Window

The middle portion of the screen is reserved for the Logo/Diagnostic Window. On a graphics

console, the window is 640x384. On a text console, the window is 80x20.

The Logo/Diagnostic Window may be in one of two forms depending on whether Quiet Boot

Mode is selected in the BIOS Setup. If selected, the BIOS displays a logo splash screen. If not,

the BIOS displays a system summary and diagnostic screen in verbose mode. The default is to

display the logo in Quiet Boot mode. If no logo is present in the flash ROM, or Quiet Boot mode

is disabled in the system configuration, the summary and diagnostic screen is displayed. If the

user presses <Esc>, the system transfers from the logo screen to the diagnostic screen.

4.2.1.3

Current Activity Window

The bottom portion of the screen is reserved for the Current Activity Window. On a graphics

console, the window is 640x48. On a text console, the window is 80x2.

The Current Activity Window is used to display prompts for hot keys, as well as provide

information on system status.

4.2.1.4

System Diagnostic Screen

The diagnostic screen is the console where boot information, options and detected hardware

information are displayed.

4.2.1.5
