Figure 5-1 SETUP Main Menu (Example)

The screen is divided into four sections. In the top section, you can select the menu screens [Main], [Advanced], [Security], [Power], [Boot Sequence], [Version], [Exit]. In the left of center section, you can choose the different settings or submenus. Brief help texts appear on the right for the currently selected menu entry. The bottom section contains information for operator inputs.

Yellow stars to the left of the interface designation (for example, Internal COM 1) indicate a resource conflict between the interfaces managed by the BIOS. In this case you should select the default settings (F9) or eliminate the conflict.

You can move between the menu screens using the cursor keys [←] and [→].
