4.2.1.5.2 BIOS Boot Popup Menu
The BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) provides for a Boot Menu Popup invoked by pressing the
<ESC> key during POST. The BBS Popup menu displays all available boot devices. The list
order in the popup menu is not the same as the boot order in BIOS setup; it simply lists all the
bootable devices from which the system can be booted.

4.3 BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility is provided to perform system configuration changes and to display
current settings and environment information.
The BIOS Setup utility stores configuration settings in system non-volatile storage. Changes
affected by BIOS Setup will not take effect until the system is rebooted. The BIOS Setup Utility
can be accessed when prompted during POST by using the F2 key.
4.3.1 Localization
The BIOS Setup utility uses the Unicode standard and is capable of displaying setup forms in
(EFIGS) languages currently included in the Unicode standard. The BIOS supports English,
Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Intel provides translations for console strings in the
supported languages. The language can be selected using BIOS user interface.
4.3.2 Console Redirection
The BIOS Setup utility is functional via console redirection over various terminal standards
emulation. This may limit some functionality for compatibility, e.g., usage of colors or some
keys or key sequences or support of pointing devices.
4.3.3 Configuration Reset
Setting the Clear CMOS jumper (board location J17) produces a “reset system configuration”
request. When a request is detected, the BIOS loads the default system configuration values
during the next POST.
Alternatively, the user can clear CMOS without opening the chassis. Using the control panel,
the user can hold the reset button for 4 seconds and then press the power button while still
pressing the reset button and then release both simultaneously.
