Save Changes.
The following subsections describe each of the options on the Exit Menu. Note that
Esc
does not exit this menu. Select one of the items from the menu or menu bar to exit.
Save Changes & Exit
After making the selections on the Setup menus, always select Save Changes to Non-
Volatile RAM (NVRAM) to make them operative.
Unlike standard RAM memory, NVRAM is sustained by an onboard battery and stays on
when the system is turned off.
After saving the selections, the program displays this message:
NOTICE
Changes have been saved
[continue]
If an attempt is made to exit without saving, Setup asks if the changes should be saved
before exiting.
During bootup, Setup attempts to load the values saved in NVRAM. If the values saved in
NVRAM cause the system boot to fail, reboot and press
F2
to enter Setup. In Setup, the
ROM default values (as described below) can be loaded or the values can be changed that
caused the boot to fail.
Discard Changes & Exit
Use this option to exit Setup without recording any changes.
