Getting Help

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

Main Menu

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-Menu

If you find a right pointer symbol (as shown in the right view) ap-

pears 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.
