Using BIOS and AOS Functions 

This appendix explains how to use the application and navigation 
buttons with the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) program and the 
Advanced Operating System (AOS) Options menu.

Note:

These functions are typically for use only by your system 

administrator or by authorized service technicians.

Note: 

 Each button has its 

own blue-light LED. No 
matter which button you 
press, every blue-light LED is 
on for about 3 seconds, then 
off. When in Shifted mode, all 
blue-light LEDs flicker.
