Pressing <Esc> does not immediately exit this menu. Select one of the options

from this menu or <F10> from the legend bar to exit.

Exit & Save Changes

Once you are finished making your selections, choose this option from the Exit

menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM. The CMOS

RAM is sustained by an onboard backup battery and stays on even when the PC is

turned off. When you select this option, a confirmation window appears. Select

[Yes] to save changes and exit.

If you attempt to exit the Setup program without saving your changes, the

program prompts you with a message asking if you want to save your changes

before exiting. Pressing <Enter> saves the changes while exiting.

Exit & Discard Changes

Select this option only if you do not want to save the changes that you made to the

Setup program. If you made changes to fields other than system date, system

time, and password, the BIOS asks for a confirmation before exiting.

Discard Changes

This option allows you to discard the selections you made and restore the

previously saved values. After selecting this option, a confirmation appears. Select

[Yes] to discard any changes and load the previously saved values.

Load Setup Defaults

This option allows you to load the default values for each of the parameters on the

Setup menus. When you select this option or if you press <F5>, a confirmation

window appears. Select [Yes] to load default values. Select Exit Saving Changes

or make other changes before saving the values to the non-volatile RAM.
