Menu Structure
The screen is divided into four sections. In the top section, you can select the
menu screens [Main], [Advanced], [Security], [Power], [Boot Sequence],
[Version], [Exit]. In the left of the center section you can select various settings or
submenus. Brief help texts appear on the right for the currently selected menu
entry. The bottom section contains information for operator inputs.
Yellow stars to the left of the interface designation (for example, Internal COM 1)
indicate a resource conflict between the interfaces managed by the BIOS. In this
case you should select the default settings (F9) or eliminate the conflict.
You can move between the menu screens using the cursor keys [←] and [→].
