Getting Help

After entering the Setup menu, the first menu you will see is the Main Menu.

Main M enu

The main menu lists the setup functions you can make changes to. You can use the
arrow keys (

↑↓)

to select the item. The on-line description of the highlighted setup

function is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Sub-M enu

If you find a right pointer symbol (as shown in
the right view) appears to the left of certain
fields that means a sub-menu can be launched
from this field. A sub-menu contains additional options for a field parameter. You can
use arrow keys (

↑↓ )

to highlight the field and press <Enter> to call up the sub-menu.

Then you can use the control keys to enter values and move from field to field within

a sub-menu. If you want to return to the main menu, just press the <Esc >.

General Help <F1>

The BIOS setup program provides a General Help screen. You can call up this screen
from any menu by simply pressing <F1>. The Help screen lists the appropriate keys
to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. Press <Esc> to exit the
Help screen.
