Description
Execute Command The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu,
or to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for
multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will
undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
Exit
The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the
pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or
selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.
When the ESC key is pressed in any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When
the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed
and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If “No” is selected and the
Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they
were before ESC was pressed without affecting any existing any settings. If “Yes” is
selected and the Enter key is pressed, setup is exited and the BIOS continues with
POST.

The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous options
in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the
Enter key.
Select Item
The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item’s option list, or a value
field’s pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.

The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The
keys have no affect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed.
