1. Starting uEFI BIOS Setup

The CP3002/CP3002-RC/CP3002-RA is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed
and configured 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 Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of
new and enhanced functions specifically tailored to the hardware features of the CP3002/
CP3002-RC/CP3002-RA. This user guide reflects the uEFI BIOS version R13.

To take advantage of these functions, the uEFI BIOS comes with a Setup program which pro­vides 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 configu­rable 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 <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 p assword (refer to Chap ter 4, Secu­rity Setup, for further information), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 2.

5. A Setup menu with the following token attributes will appear.
The currently active menu and the currently active uEFI BIOS Setup item a re highlighted
in white.

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 menu s are selected via t he
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 CP3002/CP3002-RC/CP3002-RA uEFI BIOS setup program uses a hot key-based navi­gation system. 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.

 Left/Right The Left and Right <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.

2. Main Setup

Upon entering the uEFI BIOS Setup program, the Main setup screen is displayed. This screen
lists the main setup sub-screens and provides very basic system information as well as func­tions for setting the system time and date. In addition, the remaining major setup menus can
be accessed from this screen. This screen can also be selected from any other major setup
screen by using the Main tab.
