Save & Exit Menu
The
Save & Exit
setup menu includes all available options for exiting, saving, and loading the
BIOS default configuration. As an alternative to this screen, press <F9> to load optimal BIOS
default settings and <F10> to save changes and exit setup.
The
Save & Exit
setup menu includes the following settings:
•
Save Changes and Reset
—Any changes made to BIOS settings are stored in NVRAM.
The setup program then exits and reboots the controller. You also can use the <F10> key
to select this option.
•
Discard Changes
—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this session of the BIOS
setup program are discarded. The BIOS setup continues to be active.
•
Restore Factory Defaults
—This option restores all BIOS settings to the factory default.
This option is useful if the controller exhibits unpredictable behavior due to an incorrect
or inappropriate BIOS setting. Notice that any nondefault settings such as boot order,
passwords, and so on also are restored to their factory defaults. You also can use the <F9>
key to select this option.
•
Save As User Defaults
—This option saves a copy of the current BIOS settings as the
User Defaults. This option is useful for preserving custom BIOS setup configurations.
•
Restore User Defaults
—This option restores all BIOS settings to the user defaults. This
option is useful for restoring previously preserved custom BIOS setup configurations.
•
Boot Override
—This option lists all possible bootable devices and allows the user to
override the
Boot Option Priorities
list for the current boot. If no changes have been
made to the BIOS setup options, the system continues booting to the selected device
without first rebooting. If BIOS setup options have been changed and saved, a reboot is
required and the boot override selection is not valid.
