1. Starting uEFI BIOS Setup
The CP3003-SA/CP3003-V is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and config-
ured version of Aptio® (referred to as uEFI BIOS in this manual), AMI’s next generation BIOS
firmware based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (uEFI) specification and the In-
tel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and en-
hanced functions specifically tailored to the hardware features of the CP3003-SA/CP3003-V.
To take advantage of these functions, the uEFI BIOS comes with a Setup program which pro-
vides quick and easy access to the individual function settings for control or modification of the
uEFI BIOS configuration.
The Setup program allows the accessing of various menus which provide functions or access
to sub-menus with more specific functions of their own. The individual menus and the configu-
rable functions are described in this guide.
To start the uEFI BIOS Setup program, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the board.
2. Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).
3. Press the <DEL> or <F2> key.
4. If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a window such as the one below will appear:
Enter either the User password or the Administrator password (refer to Chapter 4, Secu-
rity Setup, for further information), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.
5. A Setup menu with the following token attributes will appear.
The currently active menu and the currently active uEFI BIOS Setup item are highlighted
in white.
Enter Password

1.1 Main Setup Menu
The Main setup menu is the first screen that appears after starting the Setup program.
At the top of this screen and all of the other major screens, there is a setup menu selection bar,
which permits access to all of the other major setup menus. These menus are selected via the
left-right arrow keys.
All setup menu screens have two main frames. The left frame displays all the functions that can
be configured. They are displayed in blue. Functions displayed in gray provide information
about the status or the operational configuration.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend there is an area reserved for a
text message. When a function is selected in the left frame, it is displayed in white. Often a text
message will accompany it.

1.2 Navigation
The CP3003-SA/CP3003-V uEFI BIOS setup program uses a hot key-based navigation sys-
tem. A hot key legend is located in the right frame on most setup screens.The following table
provides information concerning the usage of these hot keys.
HOT KEY DESCRIPTION
<F1> The <F1> key is used to invoke the General Help window.
<F2> The <F2> key is used to restore the previous values.
<F3> The <F3> key is used to load the defaults.
<F4> The <F4> key is used to save the current settings and exit the uEFI BIOS Setup.
 Right/Left The Right and Left <Arrow> keys are used to select a major Setup screen.
For example: Main Screen, Advanced Screen, Chipset Screen, etc.
 Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys are used to select a Setup function or a sub-screen.
+ - Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys are used to change the field value of a particular Setup
function, for example, system date and time.
<ESC> The <ESC> key is used to exit a menu or the uEFI BIOS Setup.
Pressing the <ESC> key in a sub-menu causes the next higher menu level to be displayed.
When the <ESC> key is pressed in a major Setup menu, the uEFI BIOS Setup is terminated
without saving any changes made.
<Enter> The <Enter> key is used to execute a command or select a menu.
