Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is useful for your

service representative. For a listing of beep codes and error messages that POST can generate, see

the “Solving Problems” chapter in this manual.

Using BIOS Setup

The Setup program is used for viewing and changing the BIOS settings of this system. The user

accesses Setup by pressing <F2> key after the POST memory test begins and before the operating

system boot begins. The menu bar and brief description of each is shown in Table 10.

If “Quiet Boot” is enabled, an OEM logo will display instead of the “Press <F2> to enter Setup”

message. The user can still enter Setup by pressing <F2> during the time an OEM logo is

displayed.

NOTE

Note that a few seconds might pass before Setup is entered. This is the result

of POST completing test and initialization functions that must be completed

before Setup can be entered. When Setup is entered, the Main Menu options

page is displayed.

Table 11 shows the function keys available for menu screens.

Setup Key

Description

<Enter> Select Submenu: The <Enter> key activates sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-

menu, displays a pick list if a selected feature has a value field, or selects a sub-field for

multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the <Enter> key undoes

the pick list, and allows another selection in the parent menu.

<ESC> Exit: The <ESC> key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key undoes the

pressing of the <Enter> key. 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 sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the <ESC> key is pressed in

any major menu, the exit confirmation window displays and the user is asked whether

changes can be discarded.

<Tab> Select Field: The <Tab> key selects a field within a configurable field. For example, when

configuring the system time, use the <Tab> key to move between the hour, minute, and

second fields.
