<Enter> Execute
Command
The <Enter> key is used to activate submenu when the selected feature is a
submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected option 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 selects the currently highlighted item, undoes the
pick list, and returns the focus to the parent menu.
<Esc> Exit The <Esc> key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. 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. 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 settings. If “
Y es” is selected and
the <Enter> key is pressed, the setup is exited and the BIOS returns to the
main System Options Menu screen.
