3.3 Main Page
The Main menu is the screen that first displays when BIOS Setup is entered, unless an error has
occurred.
When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will encounter the Main setup screen. You can
always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two Main Setup
options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.
The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be
configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in blue can. The right frame displays
the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is
selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.
