Navigate BIOS Setup Utility Menus

To navigate the menus or options listed on a screen, use the arrow keys. The options or fields that you can configure on a menu appear in color.

For further instructions on how to navigate and change settings in the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to the online navigation information provided on lower right side of the menu. The upper right side of the menu provides information about the menu selection.

1. Access the BIOS Setup Utility screens.

   See Access BIOS Setup Utility Menus.

2. To select the different primary menu options, use the left and right arrow keys.

   As you select each menu option, the top-level screen for that menu option appears.

3. To select an option on a top-level screen, use the up and down arrow keys to navigate the options presented.

   • Only options that can be modified are highlighted when you press the up and down arrow keys.

   • If a field can be modified, as you select the option, instructions for modifying the option appear in the right column of the screen.

   • If a field is a link to a sub-screen, a description of the sub-menu content appears in the right column.

4. Modify the setup field by pressing the + or - keys (plus or minus keys) or by pressing Enter and selecting the option you want from the dialog box menus.
5. To return from a sub-menu to the previous menu screen, press the Esc key.

   Pressing Esc from a top-level menu is equivalent to selecting the Discard Changes and Exit option from the Save and Exit menu.

6. Modify parameters as needed.
7. To save or discard your changes and exit the BIOS Setup Utility, press F10.
   • To save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup Utility, you can select the Save & Exit menu and then select Save Changes and Reset.

   Note - After you modify any BIOS settings and select Save Changes and Reset from the Save & Exit menu, the subsequent reboot might take longer than a typical reboot where no settings were modified. The additional delay is required to ensure that changes to the BIOS settings are synchronized with Oracle ILOM.
