Description

Enter

Execute Command

The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus, pick lists, or to select a sub-field. If a pick

 

 

list is displayed, the Enter key will select the pick list highlighted item, and pass that

 

 

selection in the parent menu.

ESC

Exit

The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo 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 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 any settings. If “Yes” is

 

 

selected and the Enter key is pressed, setup is exited and the BIOS continues with

 

 

POST.
