Save & Exit Menu

The Save & Exit setup menu includes all available options for exiting, saving, and loading the BIOS default configuration. You can also press <F9> to load 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 utility then exits and reboots the controller.
  • Discard Changes and Reset—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this session since the last save are discarded. The setup utility then exits and reboots the controller.
  • Save Changes—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this session are committed to NVRAM. The setup utility remains active, allowing further changes.
  • Discard Changes—Any changes made to BIOS settings during this session since the last save are discarded. The BIOS setup continues to be active.
  • Restore 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. The <F9> key can also be used 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 values last saved as user defaults.
  • 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 will continue 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 will not be valid.
