BIOS Key Mappings

When viewing the BIOS output from a terminal using the serial console redirection feature, some terminals do not support function keys. BIOS supports the mapping of function keys to Control key sequences when serial redirection is enabled. The following table provides a description of the function key to Control key sequence mappings.

Function Key	Control Key Sequence	BIOS Setup Function
F2	Ctrl+E	Activate the Setup Utility Help menu.
F8	Ctrl+P	Activate the BIOS Boot Menu.
F10	Ctrl+S	Save and Exit changes.
F12	Ctrl+N	Activate Network boot.
