or a value field‘s pick list. The selected item must then be activated by
pressing the <Enter> key.

Select Menu The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu
pages. The keys have no effect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed.
<Tab> Select Field The <Tab> key is used to move between fields. For example, <Tab> can be
used to move from hours to minutes in the time item in the main menu.
- Change Value The minus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current item
to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated
pick list without displaying the full list.
+ Change Value The plus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current menu
item to the next value. This key 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 keyboards,
but will have the same effect.
<F9> Setup Defaults Pressing the <F9> key causes the following to display:
Load Optimized Defaults?
Yes No
If “Yes” is highlighted and <Enter> is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their
default values. If “No” is highlighted and <Enter> is pressed, or if the <Esc>
key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before <F9> was
pressed without affecting any existing field values.
Menu Selection Bar
The Menu selection bar is located at the top of the BIOS Setup Utility screen. It displays the major menu
selections available to the user. By using the left and right arrow keys, the user can select the listed menus.
Some menus are hidden and become available by scrolling to the left or right of the current selection.
BIOS Setup Utility Screens
The following sections describe the screens available for the configuration of a server platform.
In these sections, tables describe the contents of each screen. These tables follow the following guidelines:
 The text and values in the Setup Item, Options, and Help Text columns displayed on the BIOS Setup
screens.
 In the Options column, the default values are displayed in bold. These values do not appear in bold on the
BIOS Setup screen. The bold text in this document is to serve as a reference point.
 The Comments column provides additional information where it may be helpful. This information does not
appear on the BIOS Setup screens.
 Information enclosed in angular brackets (< >) in the screen shots identifies text that can vary, depending on
the option(s) installed. For example <Current Date> is replaced by the actual current date.
 Information enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) in the tables identifies areas where the user must type in text
instead of selecting from a provided option.
 Whenever information is changed (except Date and Time), the system requires a save and reboot to take
place. Pressing <ESC> discards the changes and boots the system according to the boot order set from the
last boot.
