keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process.

always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen. The
Main BIOS setup screen is shown below.The following Main menu items will be displayed:
System Date/System Time
Use this option to change the system date and time. Highlight
System Date

the arrow keys. Enter new values using the keyboard. Press the <Tab> key or the arrow keys to
move between fields. The date must be entered in Day MM/DD/YYYY format. The time is
entered in HH:MM:SS format.
