Starting the DRVCFG Utility
To start the drvcfg configuration utility, follow these steps:
1. Select the EFI Shell from the console menu.
2. Enter drvcfg -s and press Enter.
Using the DRVCFG Utility
The configuration utility uses several input keys (F1, F2, HOME, END, and so on) that may not be
supported by all terminal emulation programs. Each of these keys has an alternate key that performs
the same function. Review the terminal emulation program documentation to verify which input
keys are supported. If problems occur using any of the function keys or HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN,
it is recommended that the alternate keys be used.
There are general key inputs throughout the configuration utility that apply on all screens:
F1 Help Context sensitive help for the cursor-resident field.
Arrow Keys Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.
Home/End Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.
+/- Change Item - Items with values in [ ] brackets are modifiable. Numeric keypad
+ and numeric keypad - (minus) update a modifiable field to its next relative
value.
Esc Abort/Exit - Escape aborts the current context operation and/or exits the current
screen. User confirmation is solicited as required if changes have been made by
user. If you are using a serial console, pressing Esc causes a delay of several
seconds before it takes effect. This is normal system behavior and is not an error.
Enter Execute <item> - Executable items are indicated by highlighted text and a different
background color. Press Enter to execute the field's associated function.
