> during boot
time when the OEM logo is displayed.
When Quiet Boot is disabled, the message "press <

Keyboard Commands
The bottom right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of
commands that are used to navigate through the Setup utility.
These commands are displayed at all times.
Each Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except
those used for informative purposes, each feature is associated
with a value field. This field contains user-selectable parame-
ters. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect by
the password, a menu feature's value may or may not be
changeable. If a value is non-changeable, the feature's value
field is inaccessible and displays as "grayed out."
Keyboard Com-
mand Bar
The Keyboard Command Bar is located at the bottom
right of the screen and continuously displays help for
keyboard special keys and navigation keys.

when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or to
display a pick list if a selected option has a value

tures like time and date. If a pick list is dis-
played, the
< Enter >
key will select the currently
highlighted item, undo the pick list, and return
the focus to the parent menu.

carded. If

ing any settings. If

screen.
