Notes:
1. This keystroke can be configured to be a different value, based on the system
manufacturer's specification. The keystroke listed here is the "default" setting in
AMIBIOS8.
2. This feature is not enabled in all AMIBIOS products.
3. The assigned keystroke & a short description of its function is typically displayed by
the BIOS on system startup.
4. These keystrokes are only available when using the AMIBIOS "serial console
redirection", which allows access to the BIOS boot screen via a VT-100/ANSI
terminal connected to a serial port.
5. This feature is only available if AMIKey Recovery Boot Services are installed on the
system drive and the BIOS is configured to use these services.
6. AMIBIOS will automatically switch from the "Silent Boot" logo to the standard BIOS
text screen if an error occurs that requires user attention. Some error messages are
displayed over the "Silent Boot" logo, depending on system configuration.
